Our night bus arrived in Nha Trang two hours ahead of schedule, meaning it was 4.30 in the morning! We headed towards our hotel but the lights were all off so we wandered down towards the beach to wait until a more sociable time! As much as I would have preferred to arrive later in the morning, sat on the beach at that time meant we got to see the most beautiful sunrise. It was crazy how busy the beach was at that time as well! We killed time watching all the As...

Today we got up to check out of our room and try and find a bike to rent! As we walked out of the hotel a woman opposite called over to ask us whether we wanted a bike. We figured we would go and see how much and ten minutes and five dollars later, with no paperwork or deposit, we were off! We drove for an hour through Danang before reaching the foot of the mountain pass. We stopped here for a bit to just look at the incredible view of the mountains through the...

It is so pretty with loads of brightly coloured lanterns hanging between all the old yellow buildings. We spent a while just wondering around taking it all in. Most of the towns buildings are now shops, particularly tai...

This meant it was about half 9 by the time we had found a petrol station, filled up and headed on the right road! We drove the first 10km to Thuan An Beach. This is the first b...

We were up for breakfast at 6.30 this morning and then picked up at 7 for our DMZ tour. This is basically a tour around the key places that fall near what was the border between South and North Vietnam when the two were separated. This was a zone where military troops were banned from. However, there is still quite a lot of history surrounding it from the war. Our tour didn't start off too well, as we pulled over after half an hour and waited around for an hour ...
