Hanoi Arrived in Hanoi pretty knackered, were picked up from the bus stop and taken to the "Old Quarter" and took the first hotel we were shown as due to Sarah's flirtations, she managed to blag us the "suite room" where all 5 of us could fit. We kipped for a few hours, before heading out in search of the big lake. There was a desperate lack of food anywhere, so we grabbed a pretty gruesome snack at the first place we found, then headed to the centre of...

Hue After the 5 hour bus, dumped our bags at a hotel then hired a private car to take us round the sights. First we went to see some ancient tombs. By this point it was midday and hitting 43 deg cel so we were all a bit lethargic and hot. The tombs had beautiful inscriptions on them and there was a small lake covered in a layer of gigantic bright pink lotus'. The scent could be smelled throughout the tombs-making the place even more peaceful. There were bea...

Hoi An Arrived in Hoi An at 6am and were dragged around every hotel that the bus driver had mates at. Don't think he realised that most people traveling on night buses aren't rolling in it so cannot afford such comfortable hotels with swimming pools.

The first one we went to got us all excited cause we sho...

"Oh what a night" song comes to mind when I think of last night's escapades. Luckily I managed to dodge past the hangover, but poor Chez has had to rent a room for the day to recover in air-con!

We planned to head out for dinner at 8, but we all slept through it and we didn't manage to drag ourselves out of bed until about 10pm. The confusion started straight away- we were all a...

It's June! Woooo!! So chuffed!! O.K, so last night we found a nice Vietnamese joint to eat in- got some noodles and veg. Planned to go out on a bit of a boozer since there seemed to be happy hours galore going on, but I felt so dehydrated from the awful sunburn I got. So I just stocked up on lemon juice (no sugar- my fave) and headed for bed. The others planned to head out for a big night but we all KO'd in my room. Major applyage of after sun was needed all roun...
