Today we got up really early as we were booked onto the 8am bus to Da Nang. We got a quick breakfast then got on the bus. It was really strange on the bus as there was people's stuff everywhere - books, water, sarongs and we couldn't work out where they had all gone. As the backseat was free we claimed it and spread out. However 5 minutes later we pulled up outside a hotel and all the missing people piled back on - must have been a rest stop or something and they...

After breakfast today Dave, Zac and I decided we wanted to go on a boat trip to take in the sights of Hue. All the organised boat trips had already left at about 8am and it was already 10am by the time we had finished breakfast so we decided to go to the side of the river and organise our own trip.

Today was our last day in Hoi An as Dave, Zac and I were all booked onto the 1pm bus to Hue further North in Vietnam.

We decided to get some spring rolls for lunch at about 12.15, thinking it would be a...

Finding size 12 shoes in asia is almost impossible so he decided to get some hand-made. This involved him staring at a Next catelogue for a long time then when he had finally selected the shoes he wanted they got hi...

Today we got up at about 9am to make it down in time for our free breakfast of eggs, bread, jam, fruit and little pancakes, delicious!! I don't usually like coffee but here they have it with condensed milk which sounds gross but it's really nice (dad will be outraged!). We nicked some bread and bananas for lunch (well we had to make the most of a free buffet!) then headed off to look around the shops. Most of the shops have manequins wearing all the clothes the s...
