Hue

Our port of Chan Mai is about 50 Miles from Hue that we wanted to see. Hue was once the capital of Vietnam. It has the typical walled-in city with a moat around it to protect it from foreign invaders centuries ago called the Citadal. About 70% of the buildings in the Citadel were destroyed by...

Halong Bay

The Halong Bay area is the port city for Hanoi. Hanoi is about a 4 hour drive. Since we had spent several days there in the past, we decided to stay in the Halong Bay area. We rented a junk to take us to a fishing villlage. We also went into caves that are inside the lime...

Shopping Paradise

After a long journey on the nightbus I arrived in Hoi An. Hoi An is a little quaint town on the coast famous for tailoring. I could have spent longer here but I had to leave because I couldn't stop spending money. I got 2 pairs of shoes made and 3 new work dresses...

Nha Trangy Trang

After the slight disappointment of Mui Ne we arrived in the eagerly anticipated [[Vietnam/Nha-Trang]]. [[Vietnam/Nha-Trang]] is a large Vietnamese city on the coast. Days are spent recovering from the night before and the booze is CHEAP. Buckets are on offer for $1, everything is BOGOF and...

Mui Ne

After leaving HCM we headed up the coast to Mui Ne. According to the Bible (Lonely Planet) Mui Ne is an up and coming beach paradise. There must have been a typo in there somewhere because it turned out to be a massive resort, filled with Russians dedicated to Kite Surfing. This would have...

I'm in Vietnam!

The bus journey from Kampot (Cambodia) to Ho Chi Mihn City (HCMC) in Vietnam was without a doubt the worst of my life. I got on the minibus at 9.30 and was lulled into a false sense of security by a relatively wasy border crossing. Once across the border we stopped, were taken off the bus and...

The Old Quarter Street - Hanoi

It was a bad day, I wandered on The Quarter Old Street and Hoan Kiem Lake all afternoon. On the late afternoon, I wanted to find a quite place for my dinner but I changed my idea when seeing Kiti Restaurant on Hang Hom street. There was a buffet party in the restaurant, and so many people...

Sopa de Fideos

Hanoi no nos gustó nada, pero nada de nada. Quizá a excepción del lago, que tampoco mata, que había cerca de nuestro hospedaje. Suerte que por una vez, pillamos una habitación a tope de servicios, tenía hasta secador de pelo. En fin, que para no criticar, vamos a dedicar esta entrada a la...

Cumpleaños Feliz al Fresco

De la costa nos fuimos a la montaña, concretamente a Sapa, donde termina la cordillera del Himalaya y hace frío en noviembre. Sapa no es un pueblo grande, pero sí agradable, con lago incluido y el más grande de la zona que está principalmente habitada por pueblos indígenas de las tribu Hmong...
