Road Trip - Hue to Hoi An Our buddies Hung and Row were waiting eagerly for us outside out hostel at 8am ready for our road trip. We were both a bit apprehensive about our backpacks being strapped to the back of the motorbikes. But, it looked safe enough, they even wrapped them up in a rain cover, just incase. Our first stop was at a fishing village just outside Hue. We took a nice walk around, watching all the fishermen hard at work. Our next stop was at a...

Our first day consisted of a bus from our hostel to Halo...

GOOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAAAAAAM!! After a pretty scary flight from Vientiane we arrived safely in Hanoi. The turbulence was really bad, worst flight we have been on. Anyway we had a taxi booked and waiting for us as we heard that you can get ripped off with the taxis. The weather wasn't great when we arrived, raining and pretty cold compared to Laos. Our first impressions of Vietnam were the roads are mental. The amount of mopeds is unreal, everyone is zi...
