Hello everyone, hope your all well. I'm having a great time in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) I think it would be easy to stay here for a while. Theres so much to see, I think it would be impossible to get around it all. I'll be leaving for Cambodia tomorrow. I spent the morning yesterday at the Cu Chi tunnels, which was really interesting and we had the best guide, Mr Binh (apparently he is in the lonely planet but none of us can find it in our copies!). He...

Well didn't get much of a chance to chill out on the beach in Nha Trang. The weather was not really permitting, what with the typhoon on the way. So I didnt spend too long here. But I did get out to see the Long Son Pagoda and the Cham tower which was pretty good. I then headed down to Mui Ne in the hope of a few days on the beach in the sun. But that wasnt to happen, on the first night the typhoon hit and at midnight I found myself being evacuated to a hot...

I've been in Hoi An for 2 nights now and plan on staying for another 2 nights. I really like it here. Its pretty small and quiet but the beach is really nice. I've found a really nice hotel which is pretty cheap and it has a pool, its one of the best places Ive stayed so far.

I'm back in Hanoi for 1 night, I arrived last night and will be taking the bus tonight to Hue. As its my last day in Hanoi I decided to live life on the edge and take a motorbike taxi to the temple of literature. It was the best white nuckle ride ever! I wont be doing it again though ha ha. I think I will find a nice quiet bar to spend the rest of the afternoon in! I noticed yesterday that alot of the Vietnamese people are actually walking around in Pyjama...

I left Hanoi on the overnight train to Lao Cai, I managed to sleep most of the way so that was good. We arrived pretty early and were taken to Sapa by bus. The weather was not very good. Wet, cold and very cloudy so we couldn't really see much of the view once we arrived. Sapa is a very nice little town though. Its up in the mountains and resembles some sort of Swiss alpine village. Before heading off on a 2 day trek we had enough time to purchase rain poncho...
