Temples, shopping and fish wine - that pretty much sums up my time in Hoi An and I love it! We arrived on Monday at 7am very tired and sat at the bus station for an hour waiting for our hotel to pick us up, which they eventually did. The hotel was a recommendation from the guys we met in Nha Trang and it's lovely, the staff are really nice, our room is lovely with a view of the pool and the breakfast is almost editable (although we're both getting soo sick of e...

Arrived in Nha Trang on the night bus on friday at 7am - it poured with rain pretty much the whole way, not ideal being in a beach town in the middle of monsoon season! We spent most of the first day catching up on our sleep and then went out for dinner and drinks. The bars and restaurants here are all really nice and the food is amazing, although admittedly I've been eating western food as I've gone off local food since I was ill. It absolutely chucked it dow...

Ho Chi Minh (or Sai Gon as the locals still call it) has been a bit of a write-off, in between illness and drunkeness we haven't really managed to see much! Yesterday we went to see Twilight at the Galaxy cinema as it was pouring with rain (spent the first half hr watching Vietnamese trailers, hoping the film wasn't dubbed!). Robin thoroughly enjoyed the film and now wants to read all the books and see the other films, he wont stop talking about it...only joking...

I know the pictures gross, but at least its not your toe! I felt I should share the result of my 'pedicure' (aka tourture session) in Siem Reap, I'm struggling to stand on it - best pedicure ever! To add insult to injury (literally) I am laid up today with a dodgy tummy - luckily I bought most of Boots with me so i have antiseptic for my foot, rennie and painkillers on the go! Im actually starting to miss home a bit today (mainly the proximity to my GP). But ho...

Today we left Siem Reap to fly to Ho Chi Minh, I really liked Cambodia and the people are genuinely lovely and always take time to talk to you, its a shame to leave. We had a slight drama at the airport as the lady at check in noticed my Vietnam visa had the wrong date of birth. We then spent the next hour frantically emailing the visa people back and forth, they sent me a new visa but the tiny airport had no where to print or fax it to! I ended up saving the im...
