Vic and Jen went on a 2 day trip to Halong Bay. It is one of the most beautiful places to visit, the scenery was just amazing we really weren't expecting it to be that good! We arranged the trip through the hostel in Hanoi so there were plenty of young folk on the trip. We went kayaking through caves and watched the sun set across the water, it was beautiful! We were really looking forward to having a swim in the Bay but after seeing the amount of HUGE jelly fi...

Getting to Hanoi was probably one of our worst experiences so far! After a 6 hr bus ride to Hue we had to get another connecting bus to Hanoi which was a further 12 hour overnight bus journey...dealing with that and a hangover was...interesting! We spent quite a few days in Hanoi. We checked into the Back Packers Hostel which was a pretty cool place to stay and meet loads of other back packers. Next day Sal headed back to England for Emma's wedding!!! While Sal...

We spent 2 days in Nha Trang, this was the kinda place to come for a bit of night life and to celebrate Christie's Birthday too! We had fun meeting up with the guys we'd met in Mui Ne and Dalat previously. Spent a couple of days relaxing on the beach, watching all the locals cook shrimp and squid on the make-shift BBQs, the shrimps were really tasty-so fresh!! We had a good time in Nha Trang but we wouldn't have wanted to spend any longer there so we headed onto...

While Sal was doing her home stay visit Vic and Jen headed into the mountains! It took about 6 hours to arrive but it was worth it. We made friends with a group of other travellers on the bus and decided to all stay in the same hotel. That night we all headed into the town for some food and drinks-local rum and Dalat wine! Had a really good night and the drinks flowed until the early hours! The next moring a few of us had arranged to climb up Lang Baing Mountai...
