Hello Everyone

Hope all is well? Last few days are a bit of a blur, we had a bit of a boring time in hoi an wasnt really alot to do so we just went to the tailors ordered some tailor made clothes for cheap and had a walk round we left there 4 days ago and had an 18 hr sleeper bus to Han oi, we went to Hanoi backpackers hostel didnt realise there were 2 of them so had to get a cab to the new 1 which is much nicer has a chill out area with massive plasma tele and poll table bean bags everywhere, we were tired from sleeper bus so we just slept for a bit and watched inbetweeners, and booked a boat trip to ha long bay 2 nights and 3 days, was a bit expensicve but we have heard alot of good things so we did it anyway, had some dinner and did the pub quiz in the hsotel surprise surprise we lost! me and Sasia decided to go out the others went to bed to be fresh for the boat wasnt to mental got in about half 1 2ish.

Early rise at 7am to be picked up for 8am didnt feel to rough though, we had 4 hr bumpy bus journey to ha long bay which is in the pic, got on the boat and started drinking we had some lunch and were given our rooms which were pretty good for a boat, there was about 50 people from our hostel 6 lads from Doncaster which are a great laugh, 1 of them reminds us of Neil from the inbetweeners, we sailed for a bit and everyone jumped off the boat i was too scared so did it from the bottom! There was kayaking on offer but me and Sophie decided to stay on the boat and have a few more bevvies and sunbathe, turns out we made a good choice they were away 2 and half hours and got dark before they reached the boat!

Everyone showered for dinner then drinking games started, this got very messy had to have a minimum of 6 drinks to play we played roxanne and a massive game of ring of fire,we then just carried on it ended up being me a guy called Nathan and an Irish couple Sarah and Dave and it started to get light so wedecided to just plough through til sunrise and it was amazing and well worth the lack of sleep, the bar also didnt shut :)

We helped the boat crew wake everyone up at 7.30am for breakfast, after that we had to change boats to go to an island we got the island ad a swim and a sunbathe carried on drinking, few people did rock climbing i declined we were supposed to tube and wakeboard but the speedboat was broke so we just got got some money refunded, had a bbq on the beach for dinner and started on the drinking games again, at about midnight they told us that if u go into the sea and move the plankton about it glows up i didnt bother and decided to retire to our wooden hut about 1.30am pretty good going if u ask me :)

This morning was another early morning i messed breakfast for sleep, we got back on the boat and stopped for lunch and arrived back at the hostel about 5p tonight we have been to dinner but are all a ess we are all broken so fims and an early night is needed as we are flying to Bangkok on the 8th, excited about full moon and seeing Ad n Mel :)

Vietnam is preety mental all in all but halong bay was amazing, Crossing the rd is like playiong a game of chicken, Vietnam has got to be my least fav country so far everyone is pretty rude !
