Nha Trang

We arrived here after an 8 hour bus journey from Hoi An, at about 6am & it was lovely to see all of the locals, irrelevant of age, either running, doing aerobic exercise or playing Badminton along the promenade! It seemed that this whole stretch alongside the sea was the main hub of activity &...

Hoi An

A charming Riverside city, lots of bustling little streets with food market stalls - and lots of places to shop! Kind of a nightmare when you shouldn't really be purchasing, but here you can have anything you want hand made - ranging from leather sandals & boots, to winter coats & suits. All of...

Hue

One of the main attraction here is is the Citadel walls which sit on the Banks of Hue's Perfume River - so called I believe because of the aroma of the blossoming flowers. It's actually quite hard to visualise what is once would have looked like as most of it is just ruins now, but I imagine...

Ninh Binh

A guy we met in Hanoi recommended us to come here to simply get a moped & scoot about to explore the place, so that's exactly what we did. We made our way to Tam Coc which was only about a15 minute ride & took a trip on the Ngo Dong River which was a bit like a mini Halong Bay with huge caves...

Ha long Bay

This was a trip we hadn't planned on making, but we'd been told by so many people what a great time they'd had - we felt we just didn't want to miss out. And we are so glad we didn't as it was even more beautiful & magical than we'd imagined. It was similar to the landscape we's seen in...

Trekking in Sa Pa

First on the agenda was a 3 day trek in Sapa- so we boarded the overnight train form Hanoi which took about 9 pain filled, dirty & hot hours (my tolerance for sleeper trains was fastly deteriorating). But thankfully the Mountain town of Sapa was totally worth it- surrounded by rice fields and...

Hanoi

To be honest Hanoi was a bit of a shock to us - the traffic is crazy, the streets are tiny & are teaming with millions of motorbikes. Apparently there are 4 million in Hanoi alone and the best way to tackle the these we were told is just to walk- fast! And don't stop! Amazingly they do seem to...

Saigon

This is the third time we have been in Saigon. It is showing signs of modernization with new skyscrapers downtown and a lot of high-rise apartment building construction. The roads are still dominated by motor scooters with very few automobiles. It is HOT and HUMID here.
