Hanoi the city of motorbikes, dog meat and water puppets! Before we got off the bus Steve saw a woman chopping up a few deep frozen dogs on the street. The weather was a bit chillier and cloudy than where we'd previously been but tht was a welcome change for a week at least. We spent a few days getting our bearings which isn't that easy in Hanoi, we did find that each road has a separate trade Metal street, toy street, sunglass street etc. After a few days we ...

Another s***ty journey on a seat that really shouldn't have been legal let alone sold to poor ol back packers, see pics for proof! Here's my honest opinion of Hue... pass straight through. Unless your really interested in war history and want to go to the demilitarized zone there really is very little else to see or do here. We thought we'd give the purple palace a go and the most impressive thing we saw was the hundereds of Koi swarming to the surface when peo...

The night buses are nothing like those in india which in some circumstances Ii am thankful for in others, not so much. You never get to sleep well due to being bumped around and thrown about.

Well Nha Trang is much more back packer friendly compared to Mui Ne. The beach is huge and has very few people on it and we soon realised why once we ventured in to the sea.

There's loads to do in Nha Trang but we found ourselves doing very little not because we didn't want to but i think more to do with t...

Mui Ne isn't quite what the Lonely liar had written, not cheap at all, no beach and you need a motor bike to get anywhere. We decided to stay only a few days and got a room which included a pool so spent our time sunning ourselves, playing pool and doing not much else really. Moving on to Nha Trang soon.
