We arrived in Ho Chi Minh around 2pm and went straight to the hostel we stayed in at the start of our trip. They didn't have the triple room available that we originally stayed in so we opted for dorm beds which were very interesting. They were large wooden 'capsules' that had their own light and plug sockets in and were actually very spacious and comfortable. We dropped off our things and headed straight to the market to spend the rest of our vietnamese dong on...

We enjoyed the rest of our Christmas in Nha Trang. After having a lovely massage and facial in the hotel spa we got showered and ready and caught a cable car over to 'Vinpearl Island'... a luxury resort island that had a waterpark (that was closed by the time we got there) and an amusement park that was so quiet (as we got there about 5:30pm) we didn't have to queue for any of the rides! We also saw the most incredible dancing water fountain show and looked aroun...

We arrived at Nha Trang at 6:00am and luckily our posh hotel were very accommodating and allowed us to check straight in.

Needless to say we were shattered an...

Sorry everyone, I know it's been a while but we're all safe and well.

However, there was a sister hostel run by the same people that was way more attractive and activities were shared between the two which meant we met lots of co...

Well we had a lovely wet day out yesterday. We got picked up at our Hanoi hostel yesterday at 8:30am and had a 2 hour mini bus ride to Hoa Lu which used to be the capital city of Vietnam. We visited two temples that were built in the 17th century and learnt some interesting facts about how one dude wanted to be king so he was going to kill the king, but then the king found out his plans and killed this dude so he didn't become king. Then the king wanted his son t...
