Today was the day of picking up all the clothes/shoes and jewellery. As well as seeing the rest of the sites. On our first day we picked up a ticket that allows us to go and see 5 different sites within Hoi An old town. We'd already seen 3, today was the last two. On our way to the clothes shops, we made a quick stop to check how my jewellery was doing - we had to go back at 6. I was very excited about picking it up as it was one of the only things I was having...

After being woken up incredibly early - 5.30am early and failing to go back to sleep, myself and Manisha tried to waste some time playing card games (and after beating Manisha a few times) we tried reading our books. None of it worked but eventually we got to Da Nang. Even after our lovely experience on the train, we decided to take the normal train to Hue - it was only two hours, how bad could it be? Whilst booking our tickets, we met some other travelers who we...

In front of the place we saw a couple having their pictures taken and the woman was in the most hi...

Found out that all the soft sleeper tickets had gone, so we were forced to take the hard sleeper (6 people in one area). I chose to take the top bunk as I found in...

Still wasn't feeling all that great but got up and went to get some food - plus had to move hotels etc as Manisha was arriving! Yay, my first visitor!!! I stored my stuff in Jen's room, then we went out for some breakfast. Had a little walk around and saw a place where there were a lot of tourists eating. Were about to sit down, and saw a cockroach! Great, moved seats. Ordered our food, then saw a rat. Even better! Made me feel oh so much better. The waitress j...
