Wednesday 25th we headed to Nha Trang which is called the seaside party town and took about 4 hrs. On the way down from Dalat it was absolutely stunning scenary and we saw lots of mini waterfalls and mountains in the midst. We passed lots of little communities and people hard at work on the roads and in the fields. In Nha Trang we stayed at a hostel called the Blue Star which was very close to the beach but was more expensive $12. We headed for some food and tr...

So from HCMC to Dalat. We set off on Monday 23rd August at 1pm to head to Dalat in the central highlands which is also called the City of Eternal Springs.

Aimee treated herself to a manicure and...

This took about 4 hours. We had 2 kids in front of us and I gave them a sweet, which was a bit of a bad move as they got quite hyper and proceeded to try and grope me (ok slight exaggeration) and nudge me for more candy! We stopped twice and police came on and took a few peop...

Hello Everyone, I thought it would be good to start with a little introduction about how the trip began. We (for those who don't know let me introduce my friend Aimee who has come with me for 3 weeks) flew with Jet Airways and thanks to my lovely friend Nicki we managed to check in at first class so no queueing (always a godsend). The service was good and the food was yummy for airplane food. We had a chicken curry with sagg paneer (Pete you would love it) and a...
