Date: 25th June 2011 Place: Hanoi Weather: Raining Well our 14 hour bus journey turned into a 17 hour one. Because of the rain I think the roads had flooded or something which meant the bus had to stop for a while. When we finally got to Hanoi we weren't dropped off in the centre either because their time period had gone so we had to get a taxi into the centre. We got to the hotel fairly easily and since we had already booked a room it was all straight ...

Date: 24th June 2011 Place: Hue Weather: Very humid but cloudy Got up for breakfast again but this time it was just a bread roll and jam. We then decided that we were only going to stay here that one night so booked the bus for that night and checked out. We decided we would do everything we needed in that one day and then move onto Hanoi where we wanted to do a lot of things. There is a big supermarket in Hue so we decided to go to find it before headi...

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.

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. Since we didn't know what else to do in the town centre we decided to hire a bike again and explore a bit further. We were going to go to the beach again but decided to carry on down the road and we ended up in the next town which ...

Date: 21st June 2011 Place: Hoi An Weather: Sunny Today we wanted to go to a beach that was meant to be a lot nicer than the tourist one and it was the one the locals go to. It was a lot further away though so (Im sorry mum) we hired a moped. The roads were really straight and quiet, and it is really the only way to get around without it costing you a fortune. They are so easy to ride anyway, I had lessons from Simon when we were in Thailand. Carm got o...
