Date: 23rd June 2011 Place: Hoi An to Hue (Hai Van Pass) Weather: Quite cloudy It was an early start today because we were getting picked up by Easy Riders who were taking us on the Top Gear route from Hoi An to Hue. We went the same route to Danang but then got on the Hoi Van Pass which is a really windy road all through the mountains and there are views of all of Danang. It was a really good ride but a shame it wasn't sunnier because I think the views wo...

Date: 22nd June 2011 Place: Hoi An Weather: Cloudy and windy It was supposed to be our last day in Hoi An today but we hadn't really got around to booking an Easy Rider tour from Hoi An to Hue so we decided to stay an extra day.

They are so easy to ride anyway, I had lessons from Simon when we were in Thailand. Carm got o...

Date: 20th June 2011 Place: Hoi An Weather: slightly cloudy Today we decided to make use of the pool at the hotel. I felt German because we claimed our beds before breakfast. Whilst we were out there sunbathing we started talking to some guys who lived in Milton Keynes and a girl who we had met in Nha Trang at the water park. We decided it wasn't sunny enough to just sit around by the pool though so decided to go and find Piece which was meant to be a r...

Date: 19th June 2011 Place: Hoi An Weather: Really sunny until a big black cloud came Got up in time for breakfast again. It was a buffet but was a really weird one! In Vietnam the traditional breakfast is noodles. So typically they put out our version of noodles for our breakfast; spaghetti! There were things like spaghetti bolognaise and vegetables out. They did make us pancakes and Omelettes if we wanted them though and they had a lot of fruit. It sa...
