City of the Soaring Dragon

Hanoi is the capital and also the largest city in northern Vietnam with 7 million people. Ruthlessly crowded with motorbikes, people and goods-for-sale along the tiny winding roads, my first impression was that this city was completely nuts. Coming from the jungles and mountains, I felt...

American Invasion of Vietnam: Part II, Tourism

After five-thousand feet of steep, rigorous and back-breaking journey and Mr Cho (our guide) Cait, Taylor, Emmy and I () finally reached the top of Mt. Fan Xi Pan, the tallest mountain in SE Asia at about 11 thousand feet. Nothing compared to our American mountains, but hey, its a...

Carry on up the Mekong Delta

As the Mekong Delta tour continued into the second and third days, I became more convinced that what we should have done is just organise three days of boat trips up the river system because I was really enjoying all of the travel up (and inevitably back down to get the bus) the river, but I...

Bed bugs in the Mekong Delta

Well we had been prepared for mosquitoes in the Mekong Delta, but not what we found. Never having seen a bedbug before in real life, we weren't sure what the little beetle crawling across the bed in Can Tho was, but I had my suspicions. I took the photo thinking that I could later check to see...

Last day in Saigon

We finished the previous day off with a lovely Korean meal, which was by far the most expensive meal we've had, but thought we deserved it after getting the blog up-to-date. Ah, those were the days! We decided it was OK to eat Korean since we're not going there; we've been avoiding the...

Wedding Gift Fund Closing

First, we'd like to say thank you to everyone who's given us something as a wedding present. We really appreciate it and we will get around to thanking you all individually... Anyway, we need to start thinking about what we are going to use our STA fund for, so we'll be closing the account in...

Admin in Saigon

If Mui Ne taught me one thing it's that I'm spending far too long on this blog! The problem is the more we do, the more I have to write about, but the less time I have to do it. Now, after Mui Ne, and doing nothing fun in Saigon I think I can catch up... but I'm going to try and be more brief in...

Mui Ne is a hole and it stinks

For breakfast, we returned to the lovely vegetarian cafe we'd discovered the previous day in Da Lat. Little did we know but it was to be the last decent meal for several days. We arrived in Mui Ne (strictly speaking, Mui Ne Beach, I think -- Mui Ne Village is a little along the coast) and...

Around Da Lat

A bit disillusioned with Da Lat itself, we decided to hire a bike again, after knocking back some very insistent "Easy Riders", who take you on motorbike tours around the area; out of our price range again. We headed off to Tiger Falls, which should have been the easiest and closest to get to of...
