Final destination in Vietnam. You wouldn't think its the capital city. We stayed in the old quarter which is pretty shabby but then a few streets down you have brand new funky juice bar and posh clothes shops! Very mixed. The day we were there everything was closed! Friday is not a good day to go to the museums in Hanoi! We just mooched around, went in a couple of cyclos. Chilled out. Highlight was going to Halong Bay, had heard its stunning and a must see.

So many lovely lanterns everywhere. Arrived at 6am, found a nice but still fairly cheap hotel but couldn't check in until 11 so we went off in search of breakfast... had a walk along the river where two little old ladies were sitting in a boat smiling for the cameras with thier traditional vietname...

Its really seventies with lots of brown and orange furniture and low coffee tables with old school covers on them! Everyone is really friendly and welcoming. We arrived at 1am which wasn't the best idea but luckily we met a dutch guy on the bus who was meeting fri...

Vietnam- Ho Chi Minh City I felt the need to blog about Ho Chi Minh City... massive place for starters! We arrived at 9pm after a 13 hr bus journey from Siem Reap! We did change buses in Phnom Penh but it was literally hop off and hop back on again. After getting our passports checked, about 10 times and filling out numerous bits of paper to cross the border, we made it to Vietnam! We got off the bus and i had already recognised that we were in the right distric...
