Nihow from China. We made it. As we quickly found out, very few people speak any English in China, but we managed to get a night bus from the border to Kunming, capital of the Yunnan province. That was amusing in itself, as Chinese night busses manage to have bunk beds. We both had top bunks, meaning each time we went round a bend we would almost fall out of bed (like we did when we were six). We got our first 'taste' of Chinese toilets in the early hours of t...

We've both invested in wooly hats and have spent the previous 2 evenings drinking hot chocolate and huddling around open fires with other travellers.

Sorry its been a long time since the last update... again, we've been busy girls. Since we last wrote, we spent a couple more days in Hoi An.

We like the Delta, theres plenty to see on some enjoyable boat trips. We tasted some serious wines, banana wine, rice wine and snake wine- n...

Merry Chritmas! Hope you are all having a good day with those turkeys. We've set up our mini-xmas tree and have decor over our bags. We made it to Saigon.... woohoo. We also found somewhere to stay after 3 hours of being denied from every guesthouse. Suprise suprise most places are full in Saigon at christmas. We reminded ourselves we are idiots. Unfortunately we had to settle for somewhere more luxury than our norm, with TV, fridge, hot water and free banan...
