Enough with the Nam and the Viet

Finishing up Vietnam. It has been an amazing and educational 3 weeks. Joc and I ran into a chap from Australia the other day who followed a similar path to ours through Vietnam. We asked him what he thought about it and his answer was incredibly accurate and simple: There are a lot of things...

So long, Vietnam!

Today marked the beginning of the end for me, as I'm now in the home stretch of my trip. Parting ways with Vivian, Carl, and Jocelyn was really quite sad - they are such a great travel "family," and we've had so much fun together! It was really a privilege to spend the majority of my vacation...

Cruising on the Mekong Delta

It's been a lovely few days here in Vietnam. After the excitement of the Cu chi tunnels we decided to have a chillout day on Sunday and went for a walk around the city to see a few sights, we went to see the Post Office (doesn't sound exciting but was a very beautiful building), the big statue...

Temples and Tunnels

The day after the Rickshaw rollercoaster we decided to give ourselves a day off and went to the Statravel office to book a trip to the Cu Chi tunnels, an underground network of tunnels which the Viet Cong used to sneak up on the US soldiers, and the Cao Dai Temple, which is the largest in...

Cu Chi Tunnels

We eventually arrived at the Cu Chi tunnels and very gratefully got off the coach, one of our fellow tourists was a rather chatty American who we secretly named "Indi-ana Jones"! Details of his many exploits included fighting off an angry baracuda with just his bare feet, and saving a girl from...

Ho Chi Minh City

After a journey that lasted 26 hours and a whole day in bed we finally started to explore Ho Chi Minh City. We were, at first, a liitle scared after a crazy taxi ride from the airport to the Hotel where we unfortunatley witnessed a girl being knocked off her moped and our taxi only just missed...

So Long Vietnam, last stop Saigon (AKA Ho Chi Minh City)

Upon arrival in Saigon we had some difficulty in finding a place, this was due to the fact that most guesthouses are not open at 6.00am-weird that. A nice (but strange) lady helped us find a room above a bar, no guesthouse for us, but a spare room over a pub. We were guaranteed that the noise...
