Another overnight bus journey took us to Nha Trang. There was another 'sick' incident on the bus...a rather tall and lanky legged french guy decided that he just couldn't get comfortable on the seat to sleep so he lay down in the aisle on a blanket, and dosed off. A poor girl woke up in the middle of the night coughing and while she coughed a load of sick came out aswell-all over poor lanky man! He wasn't amused!! Anyway we arrived in Nha Trang about 6am and so d...

Well we've arrived in Hoi An after a fairly painless bus journey!!! We got dropped off in the town centre and had to find a room. There were moto drivers trying to assist people by guiding them to budget accomodation. We we're quite stubborn and decided to ignore all their freindly advice and hunt down one on our own. I think it took us nearly an hour and a half before we found a room, we were both soaked from the sweat. I think we both have cursed the open tour...

Well our bus from Hanoi to Ninh Binh was one of the infamous open tour ticket types. Apart from departing 2 hours late, having erratic air con and the smallest leg room once the chair infront has been reclined and people sitting in the aisles on plastic chairs it was well worth the price. We arrived in Ninh Binh at around 11pm and we were both knackered. Ellie wasn't feeling to well and we got shown to the commision hotel. The room was awful, it looked like a gi...

Well Lao airlines turned out to be fine, the flight was only an hour long and I didn't even cry on take off (which I usually do for every other flight we've done!) Landing in Hanoi was a bit of a shock after laid back Laos...there were motorbikes everywhere. We found somewhere to stay, we had prebooked somewhere on the net but they had mucked up the booking so they transferred us to another place that turned out to be more central to all the sights! All g...
