Ho Chi Minh City was big, busy and pretty exciting. There was certainly a lot to see. The first day we took a walk around. We saw the Reunification Palace and took a walk through Tao Dan Park. The gardens were beautiful and we got to see lots of people doing their exercises. Once again crossing roads proved challenging, however, I think we have a strategy. Just keep walking, they always swerve us. After all they don't want to damage their bikes! The following day...

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 took it upon ourselves to have some chill out time. Both evenings we spent in The Sailing Club. It is d...

Hoi An was a very pretty little place. I instantly liked it there. There were lots of pretty little streets filled with restaurants, tailors and cute little handicraft shops. Hoi An is well known for its tailoring so we decided to get some clothes made. Prices appear to have gone up a little since Lauren was last here so we got a couple of tops each and a dress. We went in to choose what we wanted, what material we wanted and what it should look like and had our ...

We arrived in Hue on the overnight and bus and were thankful to have people at our stop offering us their guest houses. It was cold, rainy and we were very tired. 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...
