MATT: "Saigon, s***. I'm still only in Saigon. Every time I think I'm going towake up back in the jungle." That is one for all the movie fans out there. Saigon is actually really nice. Again the free form traffic - like Hanoi - is pretty crazy. You cross the road by walking out and letting the traffic work its way around you. At first this is pretty unsettling, but before too long you get pretty used to it. Ok....I started this part of the blog a few...

Kel: Awwww relax. We're both feeling better now and have spent 3 days chilling in Hoi An, the home of the tailor. It's rainy season here and we've caught the end of a big storm. The riverside is totally flooded. Apparently it happens 3 times a year so we are getting to experience it. It's pretty cool to see and we've enjoyed wading in to go on boats etc with the locals (sorry no pics yet, the computers aren't quite up to it here) So at first Matthew wasn't up fo...

Kel: We could have stayed in bed feeling sorry for ourselves, but decided just to ignore our moans and groans. Instead we got to Hue after a s***ty sleep on this manky train and decided to go on a motorbike tour for the day - yes Mum that's right - motorbikes, eek! We weren't driving them but had a driver each and just hopped on and off for a day tour of Hue. It's a much quieter place, and was a welcome relief from Hanoi. We had this amazing tour guide who could...

Kel: Oh my god, this place is crazy ... and a bit scary. After a 4 our journey we entered the madness of Hanoi. The main sight to see is the traffic I think. Horns tooting constantly, however many lanes they can make in a road, in any direction, no right of ways, motorbikes down pavements. Someone said the best way to cross the road is to shut your eyes and go for it. Thankfully we're still alive after a 2 day trip. This place is pretty full on. V dirty and nois...

Kel: Pure luxury ... especially after years on a bus. Our jaws hit the floor when we got to Halong Bay. It's absolutely stunning. There are around 3000 limestone islands scattered around a bay and the Vietnamese are dying to see it named as one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. Deservedly so - it's absolutely beautiful. We boarded our 'voyage dreams' boat, our home for the next 24 hours and took off at a leisurely pace. The weather was warm but not sunbathin...
