25/05/2014 Jumped on the bus in the morn with Adrian who was also going to Ho Chi Minh City. We eventually turned up and we found the hostel. Was a real odd one, but probs one of my favourites. It wasn't even marked as having any accommodation at all, and if I didn't find it on hostel world I wouldn't have had a clue it was there. It was called Rou hostel, but the signage said Rou vegetarian restaurant. Was really posh inside. We were taken upstairs to the...

23/05/2014 We eventually rocked up in Nha Trang, a beach destination which is massive with the Russian tourists, all the menus even in Russian etc. Everyone bar me an old couple piled off.

There was honestly nothing there to see :S nothing worse when you pay for something and you don't even know what you paid for. Had a massive headache on the night for mo...

16/05/2014 Got the train, was about 3 hours. Found the pier, turns out I had missed the slow boat so had to get a hydrofoil instead, a crazy speed boat which takes the journey down to 45 mins! Cost around $10. I've heard these things could move but man was this thing a rocket! I was honestly speechless as to how it was possible to go that fasts on water. I sat at the front which being at the nose was elevated, and kept bobbing up and down and slamming into th...
