Well I have previously said that the transport couldn't get any worse right? Well WRONG. VIP means something very different here than it would back in the UK. The bus journey here seemed short as I was able to sleep, despite being crammed into an even smaller space I was asleep for the most part. I did however wake to see the sun coming up over the mountains behind Nha Trang and it was a perfect way to start the day. I hadn't been lazy this time and searched som...

After another late start (this time because I couldn't be bothered to get up) I walked into town to see some of the sights. I eventually managed to get a sightseeing ticket and started walking round. Hoi An operates a system where you need entrance tickets to get into the museums etc and you cannot just buy one you need a booklet which allows you to enter 5 attractions out of the 18 on offer...seems a bit of a rip off to be honest but never mind. I went into a c...

The journey to Hoi An began this morning with yet another bus that was going to be late.

So I went to reception and asked if it was possible to cycle to the Thien Mu Pagoda, the lady at the reception desk said yes it is about 7 km away...I couldn't help but think there was some sort of random theme developing here...was everything 7 km away? This was a much easier route it was pretty muc...

After spending another day doing practically nothing in Hanoi, the bus was late to take us to Hue. In fact it was SO late that we couldn't get picked up from the Hostel, we had to rush through town in the rain to another meeting point and grab it from there. I was not pleased as I was sweating off my body weight carrying both my bags tearing across town. After boarding the bus I realised it was just as bad as the one from Vientiane to Hanoi except it had a double...
