10th October A 6 hour bus journey with our travel pal Rowan to the city of Saigon, or as it is now known Ho Chi Minh city. We used up what was left of the day by exploring the capital, what a city, I think I'm in love! Morgane and I had heard so many horror stories about people being mugged and robbed here that we thought we would constantly be on edge, but with our bumbags on we felt safe and secure. We visited the day and night market where we were pulled and ...

6th October Getting woken up at 8am for our Easy rider tour to Dalat was interesting as the previous night we had been out for my birthday. Lets just say by 2pm I couldn't remember getting up that morning....definitely still drunk! We were picked up by Bambo and his 'brother from another mother' to be taken to our next destination. With our bags strapped to the back of the motorbike we were away! By 12 my hangover had well and truly kicked in, but the fresh air ...

Arrived at our hotel at 6am...

The train itself was not dissimilar to the hogwarts express and took us through the mountains to Da Nang. We met a nice Vietnamese guy who was telling us stories of his beautiful country and took us for an ice coffee i...

17th September 2013 So another leg of the journey, another sleeper bus, this time, quite possibly the worst sleeper bus imaginable. The bus was filled with insects, dirty blankets seat belts that didn't work (when you're on a top bunk this is very much a problem) and one hell of a crazy driver. Needless to say we didn't get much sleep... 18th September So it's raining as we arrive in Hue although we were greeted at our hotel with amazingly smiley faces and a b...
