We left De Lat and arrived at Mui Ne on the 13th November around 12pm to glorious sunshine and the sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore in the distance. We had found a nice place to stay with a pool and good sized rooms for $15 a night. Having a pool at our digs was real luxury for us and we took advantage straight away by stripping down to our beach attire and pulling up a couple of sun loungers by the pool. We had been hoping for sunshine and we ...

Well since we were in Hue the rain hasn't really stopped. The plans that we had made whilst we were there had to be scrapped as looking around the sights of a city is not the most fun whilst it is raining cats and dogs. We had to take up our time by finding little bars and restaurants, walking around with our ponchos on and camping in our hotel room in the warm and dry. Whilst in a bar one night, we were chatting to the locals over a few drinks and a game of Jeng...

It is seen as the greatest water puppetry in the country in Hanoi as it originated in northern Vietnm and always tip...

Well we are now two months into our travels and so far have travelled over land roughly 2500miles. So we are finally in Hanoi after many miles, frustrations and not much sleep at all.

We had originally planed to travel the 250 mile east to Muang Khua near the Laos/Vietnam border within one day. We woke early to get to the bus stop via Tuk-Tuk by...

Well we have finally made it into Vietnam. It has been one hell of a trip and took a few days longer than we thought. But a lot has happened in the past week so I will start at the beginning with the Gibbon Experience. As we told you on the last blog the Gibbon Experience was the thing that we visited Laos for. We set off early on the first day 29th October for the two and a half hour drive to the village in the Bokeo Nature Reserve where we would start our trek ...
