Well that had to be the best bus trip ever . The view was breathtaking even after I'd seen it on Top Gear it just couldnt prepare you for how perfect a view it is. Its the prefect desciption of modern vietnam with the traditional merging with the modern and somehow still working . Having said that I did feel a little like a mountain goat as we clambered on to various rocks for pictures there was even a bridal party taking pictures.... this seems to be common in V...

The view you get at the end of the cave experience over the bay was breathtaking. I promise i...

Well last couple of hours in Hanoi. This crazy town has definitely kept us on our toes. As the government appointed guide said when it comes to the rules of the road they "freestyle" which means middle of the road, wrong direction and cutting people off are all acceptable all with accompanying horns blaring soundtrack.
