Well i arrived into Sapa early on Tuesday 28th after my first night train. The night train was interesting, i shared with an English guy which was good until a Vietnamese women arrived (who looked well over 9 months pregnant - so we were pleased she never gave birth during the train journey) unfortunately she stank of fish which made the evening a bit grim. I managed to get a few hours sleep on and off during the night which was useful as I started the first da...

I have had 2 full days in Hanoi now which have been really good. I have had my first cyclo ride around the old quarter of the city, which was interesting albeit a little slow - i am used to the faster motorbike taxi's now lol. The old quarter is really nice, with lots and lots of little streets and alley ways which i managed to get lost in when i went around for a walking tour too. Although i managed to find my way back to the hotel eventually. I met up with ...

I still can't believe how many tailors there are in Hoi An - at least 300 in a town the population of 70,000. I also spent one day on the motorbike as well, we hired ...

Well i don't know why i always make things difficult for myself but i decided to go out last night with a few people and we had quite a lot to drink, i think i got to bed around 1am/1.30am. That was not the stupid thing though, the stupid thing was I had a flight at 7am this morning so i had to get up at 5am - doh. I think i have a cold to top things off as i was sneezing all night last night and i don't feel great today, so i think it will be an early night to...
