Our last blog mentioned that we were going to get the 8 hour bus journey to Ho chi minh city, but shortly afterwards we decided to book a really cheap flight ( as i still wasnt well) and we knew an 8 hour journey was more like 10 in Vietnam, so we spent an extra day in sunny Dalat. We spent our last day there walking around the lakes and then we went to the 'Valley of Love'. We paid 10,000 (dong, 30p) to get in an at first all we could see was tack, it was quite ...

The streets are FULL of tailors waiting to make you anything and everything you want, although i had ...

We are getting very much ...
