Hi all! Well another long night-bus bought us aaall the way up the final stretch of coast from Hue (which was lovely, though only a short stay - some more sight seeing, more whizzing about on a moped, more tiger beer, and of course much more sweating!) to Hanoi. Michelle made a good point on facebook that you 'can take the girl out of Edgcott but you cant take the Edgcott-love out of the girl' - this must be true because while Hanoi is a million time nicer than...

Hello all! Well since leaving the easy riders we've had a mixture of experiences both good and bad! Nha Trang we did not like at all, it was such a terrible cheesey, touristy contrast to everything we had done the previous few days. Everything had tack written all over it! The boat trip we did round the islands was very disappointing which is a shame because it should have been wonderful. I think it was very geared up for tourists i.e encourage drinking, gen...

The Easy Riders return to civilisation!!! Well, we have just said to goodbye to our Easy Riding companions after 4days on the road with them and are now both feeling pretty sad! They were not just our guides and transport but our friends also (awwwww!) and were both so lovely that we are missing their company already.

We arrived here in Dalat about mid afternoon today (Sunday) after a hot, bumpy and noisy (they use their car/moped/bus horns like crazy out here!!!) 7and half hour bus journey from Ho Chi Minh. We were however glad to be leaving, HCM city was an experience but neither of us are really fans as it was sim...

Hi all, greetings from two VERY sweaty travellers in Ho Chi Minh! We are just about surviving the immense heat, the interesting food and the free-for-all drivers on the road! Have booked a Mekong River tour for tomorrow and a bus to Dalat for Sunday, which we can then hop-on and hop-off to Mui Ne, Nha Trang, Hoi An, Hue and Hanoi. So all is well...short and sweet im afriad as we are dying to get back to our guesthouse for a well needed shower! Love Vic and J...
