Day 19: 13th cruise day - Day at Sea

Day 19: Wednesday, December 30th, 2009 13th cruise day: Day at Sea We had another relaxing day at sea today! We didn't do any activities except the shuffleboard tournament at 2:15pm and only Jim showed up so we played a 3-man tournament, which I won! It was overcast all day, with an...

Day 18: 12th cruise day

Day 18: Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 12th cruise day: Day at Sea Our day started early with Hunter waking up at 5am and me at 6am, but we then dozed back to sleep until around 9am. I got started on the laundry, which was packed! I picked the wrong day to do laundry – or the wrong time....

Day 17: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (11th cruise day)

Monday, December 28th, 2009 11th cruise day: Ho Chi Ming City / Saigon, Vietnam After a fitful sleep, and dozing after the alarm went off, we got up by 7am and I decided I was stronger in the knees and could make it through the day. Laying in bed was not comfortable as all I could...

Day 16: 10th cruise day - Day at Sea

Day 16: Sunday, December 27th, 2009 10th cruise day: Day at Sea I woke up to a feeling of deep naseau and thought it was from the bad swaying and rolling of the ship. We expected the ride along the coastline from Chan May to Phu May to be less rocky because we were hugging the...

Day 15: Saturday, December 26th, 2009 9th cruise day: Hue, Vietnam Our first day in Vietnam! We pulled into port before 6:30am and passed by many small fishing boats in the harbor. The view was beautiful as there were beautiful, tall, green mountains near the pier, which we later...

Ho Chi Minh .. Saigon, tunnels, the American war and Mr. Bean.

We arrived in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh to people who live outside of the city) after our long, bumpy crowded bus trip from Nha Trang. It was 5:30 in the morning when we arrived and we started off on foot, turning away all the moto drivers towards where we thought the hostel was. Turns out...

Nha Trang, ... scuba diving and animal horror shows

We arrived in Nha Trang late in the evening and headed right for our hostel, checked into our little room and headed out for a bite to eat after our long, frustrating train ride. We walked around the backpacker area of town, where our hostel was and we knew that we had arrived somewhere we...

Hue ... Rain, more rain and more Moto's!

We arrived in Hue early in the morning, the train ride took almost 12 hours. This train, the SE-1 that leaves every day from HaNoi, to Saigon is a little older and not quite as nice as the train to Sapa. Around 10 at night, just before turning out the lights to go to sleep we spotted a few...

HaNoi .. where are you going? You want moto?

Hanoi! S.E. Asia, we’ve arrived! We landed at the airport, made it through customs without any hassles and even passed the medical thermo-imaging camera. Turns out neither of us has a fever, although there is a chance we’re simply immune to it all and we’re passively spreading it around...

The rest of Vietnam

After killing a few days back in Hanoi, & Allan departing, Smalls & I got our overnight sleeper train. We were setting off on our way down the East coast of Vietnam, with our first destination being Danang - a 12hour ride away (Vietnam is bigger than I had expected). The primary purpose of...
