Hi chi Minh is a big well developed city but we actually found it really dirty and smelly. After arriving at about 6pm that night with very little sleep behind us. We got some food from NY pizza slice and snacks from the mini mart and settled down in our beds for a girlie night in watching a film and chatting. We booked a tour for the next day to see the famous Cu Chi tunnels from the Vietnam war. Our guide that day was a crazy old man who had stories coming ou...

Here comes a geeky sentence.... Hoi An is a very graceful and historic town with beautiful architecture along either side of the river. It is my recommendation that this is a must see destination in Vietnam. We stayed at the Sunshine Hotel just outside the centre which was really good value for money with its big rooms, restaurant, spa and pool. Felt like 5* luxury to us after dorms in hostels! That night we had a dip in the pool and went out to the town. It ...

Kirstie slept soundly all the way through of course, Natalie slept ok but kept sliding down to the bottom of her sleeper chair and squishing herself and I barely slept at all. I must of tried a million different positions and it just wasn't happening. The bus driver kept beeping his horn all the tim...

I Think this 2 night 3 day excursion was one of my highlights of the trip for definite! It was quite a journey before we actually got on the Imperial Legend cruise boat but it was definitely worth It! We took a smaller boat out to the actual boat and hopped onboard.

Then we sat straight down ...

From capital to another capital - Hanoi This city is crazy central and a lot different to Vientiane! The amount of motorbikes is ridiculous and I noticed here that most of them are wearing helmets unlike other cities. Not sure if this is a good or bad sign. It has similarities to Bangkok but I would say it is a bit cleaner and nicer. There is a lovely lake in the middle which we walked around. The first night we got there and checked in to our hostel called Hano...
