Ho Chi Minh: As usual, the bus took much longer than we were told it would and we didn't arrive in Ho Chi Minh until around 8pm on Tuesday 16th. The hostel we had wanted to stay at was fully booked but this turned out well as we went to Vietnam Inn instead which we absolutely loved and was much nicer! The six of us (Ellie, Lisa, Ross, Owen Coops and Jenna) checked into a room and went up to the rooftop bar. It was amazing, it was like our very own skytower whic...

Natrang: On the morning of the 14th the 2 of us along with Jenna, Coops and Owen arrived in Nah Trang after our overnight bus journey from Hoi An. We checked into Mojzo Inn, which had the cutest and funniest little Vietnamese girls working in it, who were hilarious and too full of energy for us when we arrived early after a longer than expected bus journey. The 6 of us went to a mud bath and spa for the day to relax. It was a lovely resort and we all jumped stra...

Tuesday and Pritch came over, we had a drink at the bar and then all went for dinner where there were 15 cent beers and...

Hue: Our overnight journey from Hanoi to Hue was luxury compared to what we had previously experienced. We all had our own reclining chairs which were like beds, apart from Ellie falling flat on her back and being hit by the bus men when she tried to go to the toilet, the journey was ok. There were no pigs although there was a box of birds under the bus which pooed on Jenna's bag. We arrived at our hostel in Hue on Wednesday 10th which was the same as the one ...

We arrived in Hanoi on the 4th after our horrific bus journey. We were warned by two friendly Vietnamese girls on our bus not to pay too much for our taxi as they try to rip off foreigners. But, of course being the idiots that we are we ended up paying 450,000 dong for it instead of 50,000. We arrived at Hanoi backpackers Downtown and were happy to be in a busy, buzzing hostel which was full of backpackers drinking at the bar. This was what we needed after our bo...
