This day was amazing. We got up at half 6, with Julia promising some awful punishments if anyone was still in bed at 20 to 7, and packed our big bags for Hue and day bags for the ride. We checked out and went round to see the Thoi family who had been up for hours. We went over the arrangements one final time, and told them we'd be there by 3pm, which was a total guess but we wanted to be there early with our bags as we'd booked a a night bus from Hue to Hanoi at...

So today we got up early and had our final morning of beaching before we headed north. It has been so nice to have a few days of lazy holidaying, especially in such a beautiful place. Hoi An is such a pretty little town and with such a fun vibe, would definately come back here if I ever come back to Vietnam. Just out of interest, we asked about the hospitals here with a view to elective opportunity, and went to visit the Pacific Hospital which is apparently a we...

Shamefully, we spent the morning in bed nursing off our hangovers. When we came to, fairly simultaneously at midday, we went straight back to the beach, on the bikes which we had parked in the hostel lobby when we got in the night before (they had moved them round the side by the time we were mobile though). Once arrived at the beach, we meandered through the palmtrees where the local school seemed to be having its PE lesson, and went up to the restaurant on the...

When we arrived in Hoi An it was super early, and we trotted around a while looking at different optionis for accom, they were all called Thang Something Number. When We settled in Thang Vanh 2 (or something like that) in our huge room, we had breakfast in Thang Vanh 3 and then rented push-bikes from the annoying lady outside Thang Vanh 2 and headed for Cua Dai beach. It was a 5km bike ride along one road down to the coast, first through the town, then through l...

That morning we got up early, sunned by the pool and made plans for Hoi An, then poped out to pick up some optional snacks for the bus, which was at 1330.It was really late and we were ready early, so we just sat in the sun and I popped my pomphlyx (which had become SO bad in Mui Ne). When it eventually arrived and we were hurried on, the driver insisted we take our flip-flops off and stick them in a carrier bag. We were then greeted by this dreadful scene of 3 r...
