As alex and tanitas trip quickly comes to an end we are finishing in Hanoi. We took the lovely over night bus to get here where we met the lively victoria. However the bus also included (as free add ons!!) a lady vomming on the bunk below georgie all night (lovely), a game of pass the baby and lots of passengers sleeping on the floor so you couldn't actually get out of bed! Our first night was spent with georgies mums friend's son ( a connection that sounds far...

Scary tailors and full moons!! Okay so, we still haven't covered the last night in nha trang.

Fi told us a lot about the monks and buddhism, it was great to see a local site and learn a lot (for free!) after spending a while talking to t...

Rain rain go away!! So we have now moved on to vietnam and so far I prefer it to Thailand as people slightly more relaxed here, havig said that we did arrive on a Sunday and so that may have been the reason! We have now been joined by alex having picked her up at the airport the day we arrived. This entailed Tanita and I trying to catch a bus from the local bus station!! We knew which number bus we wanted and where the station was but this was no easy task!! Th...
