Just a quick/short recap of the last 2 days in Hoi An. so the deay begins with jackie chan (Dr cool) and assistant coming over to our hotel and checking out and re-dressing my toe and giving me a penicillan injection to prevent further infection.. then the hunt for good coffee begins. Vietnam doesnt have the best coffee they are reknown for their own style which is black, very strong, bitter and only a mouthful. so adventures of hoi an: 1. hired bikes and rode...

The 20 hr bus trip from Hanoi to Hoi An: sleeper bus (literally beds on a bus), valium, ipod, book, rikki passed out, crazy driving, 4wd, disgusting Russian man who couldn't fit through the isle let alone the toilet who drank wine, ate cream cheese, pickles and bread until he passed out cold, loo stop which wasn't enough time for everyone to go to the loo, broken sleep and dirty Germans... experience.. oh yes! Once arrived we caught a taxi to the hotel Liam reco...

Woke up feeling like death with Rikki covered in stickers and the cleaners hurrying us out of bed and into the showers so they can clean up..

Random as hell. Instead we warmed up in a little French café for the morning, where we wr...

Woke up early to Liam hung over as hell, packing madly to catch his bus in time for his tour of Halong Bay. Rikki and Liam's stories from the snake tour the previous night were crazy. They held live snakes, were taught how to kill them, slice them open, eat their hearts, drain their blood, mix their blood with rice wine for shots, ate snake bone stirfry, snake skin salad, snake muscle stirfry and steak ribs… so disgusting the pics show it all.. glad I stuck to ...
