Day of Culture in Hanoi

After our day of organisation we leapt into sight-seeing properly. One of the nice things about Lonely Planet guides is that they have suggested "self walking tours" to get you out and seeing the city. We had arranged to meet Russell at 1pm for lunch and then a visit to the Museum of Ethnology,...

Vietnam Phone number

Number in Vietnam is +841213165515, although it seems that text messages are not getting through -- at least not yet. Maybe they're going to be delivered very late, but there is certainly some sort of problem.

Bia Hoi in Hanoi

On the 31st we decided to take it fairly easy and just get to know our surrounding area. I had one main mission in mind: sample the "Bia Hoi". It's a local speciality, so I had to. Bia Hoi is -- means, I think -- "Fresh Beer", which is drunk on the day it is brewed. Apparently there were Bia Hoi...

Arriving in Vietnam

The morning of the 30th I had to admit that my boots had given up the ghost, but at least there would be more space in my bag (for Joanne's stuff)! We caught the bus with no incident and made it through the border, only slightly unperturbed by the long wait for our bus on the other side. In fact...

Hapiness is a warm M60 machine gun

After three nights in Hanoi we headed to Saigon(Ho Chi Minh City). It was much nicer and more modern than Hanoi, but the people where basically the same - Hotel staff very friendly and helpful, everyone else trying to rip you off. I got the feeling that most of the people generally have...

Hanoi

We left Chiang Mai, Thailand for Hanoi Vietnam on the 10th. The tour desk at our Chiang Mai hotel, Chiang Mai Thai House, had made the Vietnam visa process painless. We gave them some money and our passports when we arrived and before we left our passports magically had visas for...

This is the end, my friend, the end

"El viaje es circular: se parte de casa, se atraviesa el mundo y se vuelve a casa, si bien a una casa muy diferente de la que se dejó, porque ha adquirido significado gracias a la partida, a la escisión originaria. El viajero, aun extraviado frente al vértigo de las cosas, acaba por...

The part and the whole

W-O-W, the landscape of Muine, this little village just 4 hours away from Saigon (4 hours away from our last stop) is simply stunning. As impressive as it gets, it's probably been one of the greatest things we've seen in the whole trip. The vast stretch of sand dunes make you feel like walking...

No need to call a taxi, the taxi will call you

The thing is this trip is coming to an end… and we’re not willing to waste our last days just being sad. The other thing is we’ve managed to spend way less money than expected in Vietnam – don’t ask how, we have no idea. Thus we have a quite decent budget to take care of ourselves during these...
