Currently residing in Sapa in Northern Vietnam. About to catch an overnight train to the hole that is Hanoi... but first where I left off! On Thursday I took a motorbike taxi about 30km from Hoi An to Denang to catch my train to Hanoi. It was a pretty pleasant journey along the coast and Denang itself looked pretty nice for a big city. I was dropped straight at the train station though to catch my sleeper train to Hanoi. The train itself is not luxury by any mea...

Sunday I evening I arrived at my hostel in Nha Trang which would be my base for a couple of days. Hostel was nice enough. I pretty much immediately booked my self onto an island trip for the following day. Didn't do a great deal that evening, I went out for dinner with a couple of sound German lads staying in my dorm but it was a quiet one really. On Monday I got up fairly early to do the island trip.

Not much happen in the afternoon, I popped out for lunch and had a delicious Khmer dish. In the evening I headed out for food and drinks with these two lads staying in my dorm (Gareth and Daniel). We headed to a restaurant on the street where we able to pick a main course for just $1, bargain! Got served by the most outrageously bl...
