Hello! We are so sorry it's been ages since we updated our blog. We'll have to backtrack a few weeks now to update you on the rest of our trip in Vietnam. After we last wrote, we headed up on a nigh bus to the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi. From there, we went to visit Halong Bay, an area that really brought us to Vietnam in the firstplace. We had heard some really good things from friends that had already visited and knew that we were in for some good weather so wer...

We left Nha Trang in the evening and took a sleeper train to our nextdestination 'Danang' where we would then take a cab to Hoi An, a little town on the east coast. The sleeper train was okay - I didn't get much sleep but Matt managed a bit. We were sharing with two Vietnamese women who seemed fascinated by us and kept staring up in to our bunks! We arrived at Danang at about 4.30am (we were told it would be later) and were awoken by the train guard banging on th...

Hello again! To continue our blog, we arrived in Nha Trang very early on Easter Sunday.

We had booked a night train to our next destination and had until 11pm to roam the city before we could leave! There aren't a huge amount of sights in Saigon so we kind of felt stuck in a city again. Obviously there is a lo...

Hello from Vietnam! We are a few days late with our blog so will backdate it a few days so you are all upated. We arrived in Saigon or Ho Chi Min City from Cambodia on Friday. We had to leave our guesthouse at 6am as we opted to take the earliest bus we could so as not to waste time. The bus 'station' (not really a station, just a group of buses all parked on the side of the street) was full of local people trying to sell fruit and cold drinks but we decided th...
