We arrived back in Bangkok on the 16th May and I met up with Luke on the 19th. I headed to BKK airport to meet him on the morning on the 19th and we headed to our hotel (Legacy Suites) in a taxi. We checked in and the room was massive! We had been upgraded and it was a really big modern suite. We then headed out to the Emquartier Mall down the road for some lunch. After lunch we took the sky train to MBK mall. This mall is massive and known for selling food fak...

The day after Halong Bay we took an overnight trip to Sapa. We got on the bus at 7 in the morning and arrived in Sapa around 1.30pm. The bus was so comfortable and had reclining seats and blankets so we slept most of the way. We were taken to our hotel when we arrived and then headed out for lunch at a local restaurant. We met our tour guide at 3pm and he took us around Cat Ba village, it was so so pretty and it was interesting to meet the locals and see how they...

We took a day trip to Halong Bay the day after we arrived in Hanoi. It was a long drive, around 4 hours, and from there we took a boat around the Bay.

We then got on the boat again and carried on to our next stop where we rented kayaks and kayaked around the bay and into caves. It was a lot of hard work but it wa...

At 4am on Friday we arrived in Ninh Binh. It was pitch black and we had to walk down deserted roads with no lights to find our hostel. It was very scary but we managed to find it in the end. We checked into the room and slept for a bit and then spent the day looking around the area. We also booked a tour for the next day. The next morning we were picked up by motorbikes at 10am and we went to bust Trang An. We took a 2 hour boat ride around it and it was beautif...

We spent Monday to the following Tuesday in Pai and actually didn't do that much. We had a very relaxing week with our hotel overlooking the mountains and sunbathed and read by the pool every day. One day Kerry and I both got elephant tattoos and then went for lunch with our tattoo artist! We got on the back of their motorbikes and they took us to this local restaurant along the river. It was beautiful and full of locals no tourists at all. Another day we also to...
