... if we failed. Obviously we passed and decided it was time to celebrate our success and Leah's achievement of becoming confident in water. <br><br>First it was Bia Hoi, 14,000 Dong for a large jug of draught beer then to the ' why not bar' where they were having happy hour from 1600 &#8211; 2300, double vodka or rum with mixer for 10,000D, which is 35p.

... and 30m) below the ground built by hand by the Viet Cong. They are all zigzagged so to lose the Americans that entered and are so small and deep that Adil and I had to get out after 5 mins. You are basically on your hand and knees in complete darkness, a scary thought that the Vietnamese fought hand to hand combat below the ground with the Americans.<br><br>The weirdest thing was that our tour guide was an actual veteran that fought for the Americans. He told ...

... London called Jasmin and Tams, we swapped advice about Vietnam as we went through the rest of the steps. The most fun bit was washing the mud off, for this we were encouraged to stand between two brick walls. Wondering what would happen next we got a shock when hundreds of high powered nozzles came from the walls and blasted us with warm water from every angle. On the way home we got a quick bite to eat as we had to rush to catch the night bus to our next destination, Hoi An.

Looks like i will have to wait till Australia to dive. <br><br><br>

... massage and once again to enjoy MY pool, all to myself! I couldn't believe my luck! <br><br>So oddly, I make it all the way to the beach, and I hardly spent any time there! Ha, that's pretty funny! Glad I stopped to do a little sunbathing, relaxing and a whole lot of nothing! Felt like I've been on the run lately, trying to check off all the great sites to see - this was a well needed vacation from my vacation!

... snorkel followed by lunch. Move onto 3rd stop for another swim, music, Karaoke and a free floating bar &#8211;free red wine or something that just about resembled a red wine &#8211; and in the words of the tour guide, sometimes described as F**King Minging Wine by many of the English speaking westerners !!! But still a good fun day &#8211; plenty of sun and sea.. Back to hotel, freshen up and out for evening though back reasonably early as another 6am start for the second lot of dives.

The locals got a good laugh when we got up to dance and nearly put our heads through the the roof, head room is not an issue for the vietnamese.

Boarded our first sleeper train in Ho Chi Minh about 7.30pm. Wasn't sure what to expect. Alice has only been on sleeper trains in europe but didn't really think they would compare. Amber's only thoughts were associated with James Bond being attacked by jaws! Very pleasantly surprised, as the train rolled in we spotted flat screen tvs, although stuck on tom and jerry. We shared with suze and marly and began some games of ...
