Arriving in Mui Ne it looked beautiful. The sun was shining and we could see the gorgeous blue sea. Huge waves were crashing in. We stayed in a room right on the beach owned by a lovely but slightly crazy woman. We made a beeline for the beach, however as it was so windy we were quickly clarted in sand. We still managed to get in a relaxing afternoon as we found some hammocks hidden from the wind. There was a lot of windsurfing and kite surfing here. The strong w...

We had a lot of fun in Nha Trang. We spent two days and two nights there but to be honest there was not that much to do. It is more renowned for its nightlife. It is a beach resort so was really busy. Although it was a lot warmer than all the places we had been further north in Vietnam it was still not warm enough to lie on the beach. It was just too windy. We took it upon ourselves to have some chill out time. Both evenings we spent in The Sailing Club. It is d...

We went in to choose what we wanted, what material we wanted and what it should look like and had our ...

It was good just to have someone pick us up and take us to the guest house. To be honest there was not much to do in Hue. We could have probably have done it in one day rather than two. It rained pretty much the whole time and lot of the restaurants were closed due to the Chinese New Year. The first da...

We spent 2days and 1 night in Halong Bay. We took an early bus from Hanoi and reached our boat on Halong Bay just in time for lunch. It was very busy and a lot of people appeared to be taking the boat trips. Everyone piled on our boat and we were given lunch. After a short ride on the boat we were taken to some caves. They really were fascinating. We have seen quite a few caves on this trip but these ones were huge. The rock formations were really unusual and the...
