Hoi An - Day 112-115
This is a top pick! ... probably won't need to wear it for a couple of years but I thought sod it. Can't come to the capital of tailoring in Vietnam without buying something. Probably buy a pair of custom made shoes too. I can always send the stuff home which means I don't need ...
Ha-long is the Hue to Hanoi?
This is a top pick! ... we last left you we teased you with the story of our bus trip from Hoi An to Hue. As previously stated the drivers in Vietnam are whack. Fortunately we had Michele and Eric with us so the Canadian embassy would have been on full alert should 4 of us ...
Keep yourself protected!!!
This is a top pick! KEEP YOURSELF PROTECTED The morning we left Saigon, we had breakfast with Allison and Laura. Apparently shocking and scary events took place with Laura on her way home the previous night. Allison and Laura are roommates but they came home separately our ...
Up and away
This is a top pick! ... one of the staple ingredients of every South East Asian meal, fish sauce. Mui Ne is also the kitesurfing capital of Vietnam, it has IKO schools, perfect cross-shore wind conditions that blow a consistent speed, and no cliff faces or sharp ...
Good Morning Vietnam!!!
This is a top pick! ... , the War Remnants Museum is a must-see for anyone visiting HCMC. Even those who are not remotely interested in the Vietnam War should still find this museum compelling. So for us two, ever increasing history lovers, this museum was right up our ...
The Beaches of Cat Ba
This is a top pick! All along, we assumed Halong Bay would be the highlight of our Vietnam travels. But instead of rushing over there, we put it off so that we could continue to have that to look forward to. We spent too long in Hanoi, then enjoyed a lovely few ...
Ho Chi Minh City - where's my helmet?
This is a top pick! ... only sign that remains from the French occupation. With bricks from Marseilles, France, Notre Dame Basilica was built in 1877. Vietnam war broadcasts were made from the rooftop of the Rex Hotel. We discover wonderful views and that the street ...
Back to Hanoi
This is a top pick! On our last night in Vietnam, I met professional soccer players for the V-League, the Vietnamese Professional Soccer League. But these soccer players weren't Vietnamese! They were imported to play in Hanoi from Rwanda and Nigeria. Earlier that night I ...
(Yet another) Easy Rider adventure
This is a top pick! ... is a quaint small mountain town with winding cobblestone streets and a vaguely European feel, located in the central highlands of Vietnam. Because of the higher altitude of this place, even in the heat of the Vietnamese summer the climate was quite cool ...
When Eric(a) eats a banana.......she becomes.....
This is a top pick! ... fact from Wikipedia). Traditionally the people here have always been very poor however the fertility of this place makes Vietnam the second highest rice producing nation in the world and possibly the human growth capital as we have been told the ...
Chips & gravy all round & get Corrie on the telly
This is a top pick! We grabbed some pastries from the bakery for the last time - the girls in there looked genuinely upset when they saw us with our rucksacks this morning - they had been so used to seeing us everyday. We made our way round the corner to our tour ...
Same Same...But Different
This is a top pick! ... beginning place for Ho Chi Minh's revolution. I didn't have that time as my visa was expiring: one month in Vietnam sure went quickly. Instead, I experienced only the superficial, with a quick glimpse into Black Hmong living. The town of Sapa ...
It's all about the Journey...
This is a top pick! ... a stream running down the middle and surrounded by mountains covered in either jungle plants or re-forested with pines. This was Vietnam, about three hours hike from the central highland city of Dalat, and I had just about killed myself getting up to ...
The Citadel
This is a top pick! We did decide to have a look around the Citadel. It was a nice walk, but nothing life changing. The interior is based on the Forbidden City in Beijing, and there's some nice architecture here and there. But other than that, I don't have ...
Hostelling in Hanoi
This is a top pick! After our exciting journey to Hanoi (read Dong Ha entry for the rant) we arrived fresh and bright-eyed in Hanoi. We arrived at our pre-booked hostel in no time, excited at our first dorm experience since Singapore. We opted for their double dorm ...
Halong Bay
This is a top pick! Happy New Year Halong Bay is one of the natural beauties of the world and we were fortunate enough to spend New Years Eve floating around it. It was touch and go as to whether or not we would have a boat or not but after climbing over three we got to ...
Singing boat trips
This is a top pick! Nha Trang, the holiday resort for Vietnam. A sort of Blackpool with endless hotels and restaurants, but here they have a great 6km stretch of sandy beach and good swimming. The downside is the place is over-run with touts, they will tout you in the ...
Disappointing Dalat
This is a top pick! ... and just after leaving I read about the experience of the first Lonely Planet author to visit Dalat, in the late 1980's when tourism in Vietnam was just starting. I have pinched some of it for you to enjoy: Dalat, word on the street had it that anyone who ...
Beautiful but busy bay of islands
This is a top pick! Good Morning Vietnam! After the 17-hour bus ride from Phonsavan into Vietnam on Saturday 24 July (arrived at hotel at 11pm), we spent Sunday the 25th in the uneventful town of Ninh Binh, simply resting up, vegging out and doing some necessary shopping ...
One Bird Flu Over The Cuckoos Nest
This is a top pick! ... down in double quick time to catch Tony telling Michael Howard 'I told you so'. 29/1 It was our final day in HCMC and Vietnam and we'd seen all we needed to see. We had a few thousand Dong in our pockets waiting to be frittered away on ...
Paddle and peddle power!
This is a top pick! Having signed up for a 3 day/2 night tour of the Mekong Delta with Sinhbalo we leave behind the bustle of Saigon for more tranquil surroundings. We receive an additional bonus as another couple have joined the tour and knocked $80 off the cost. Result! ...
Beached!
This is a top pick! ... juice.) A couple of hours later and we are ensconced in our beautifully air conditioned little beachside hut, watching Laos play Vietnam at football (on tv you understand). It's very entertaining (what isn't compared to Bradford City?) with end to ...
Bikes, Buses and Tunnels
This is a top pick! ... the monk who used to live there, setting himself on fire in protest to the treatment of Buddhists by Catholics in South Vietnam. The pictures are graffic but the monk is sitting cross-legged and looks almost peaceful. That afternoon we went to the ...
Into the Delta
This is a top pick! ... on an island with a Catholic church. It was unremarkable except for the size when you consider that we are in Vietnam. Nhan has commented several times on the religious tolerance of the communist regieme. Reaching the homestay we found it more ...
Chap Ma
This is a top pick! Hello again. One of the people I met on this trip is a man named Le Co. Le is the family name, Co his given name. Still, everybody calls him Le Co. I found him pretty interesting. He is an English teacher with a large ...
First Impressions of Hanoi
This is a top pick! ... a change from the Vietnamese cuisine we've become used to. Today we began to take in the sites of Hanoi, Vietnam's northern and sedate capital. The city shows much more geometrical French planning than Saigon. Our tour began at Hao Long ...
Back in Hanoi and Goodbye to Vietnam
This is a top pick! ... plans. I realize many travellers are faced with similar incomprehensions from their friends before embarking on journeys, but Vietnam is a wonderful and easily accessible country for travellers and I would recommend that anyone visit here, regardless of ...
Tour on Two Wheels
This is a top pick! ... dozens of Buddhas. Hue is also the location of the DMZ (the Demilitarised Zone), the demarkation line between South and North Vietnam. Much of what you can see are placed where historical events happened and unless you're really into war history, not ...
Enter Vietnam
This is a top pick! ... 16 hours of vomiting....Needless to say, a memorable bus ride. We arrived at the border town, had a very easy crossing into Vietnam, and hopped on a minibus crammed with people to head to Sapa, Vietnam. The views were great heading up the mountains, ...
We got Lucky and Crazy in Dalat
This is a top pick! ... the back of their bikes, Lucky and Nguyen knew what we wanted from the trip -- to get off the beaten path, experience life in Vietnam, see gorgeous scenery, and eat good food. They didn't disappoint! By the end of our journey, we had met families from at ...
