Trekking in Sapa
We have booked a four night stay in Sapa a village in the hills about 200 miles from Hanoi. The best way to get there was by overnight train. We booked into our four berth cabin. Which was even smaller than the one we had last year from London to Inverness! It was definitely not luxury class and is a good job none of us are very tall as the beds …
Dien Bien Phu
Touring Dien Bien Phu with Lance is like having your own personal military history expert. Well, I guess it IS having your own military history expert. He was in charge of this day. He knows so much military history, and he explained the whole campaign so well that I didn't even mind the wicked heat and rain. Well, not too much. French rule of …
Day 25
Today we traveled from Luang Pabang to Dien Bien Phu . This is where the French were defeated in 1954 by the Viet Minh. This defeat ended the French presence in Indochina and ultimately lead to the Vietnam War. We toured the battlefield on departure. The day in was difficult. Hero could not have selected a more remote border crossing point. It was …
Welcome to 'Nam!
Take the boat 5 hours north to the border town or take the road all the way around through Oudomxai? This decision would have been a lot harder to make had I not run out of cash in Moung Ngoi. I tossed around the idea of borrowing money from another traveler, but at that point, who knew where the next ATM would be. I can now say that a 6-hour bus …
First impressions of Vietnam and they're not good!
We woke early and everything went to plan: the small minibus was there, we had seats and we paid the agreed price. Unfortunately it took an hour to leave the town picking up people, dropping off empty fuel cans and picking new ones up, (if we were to crash, god knows how big the explosion would've been) tipping the builders on the unfinished bridge so that we could go across, stopping so the driver could chat/smoke and all the while, ...
TravelPod Member ReviewsMuong Thanh Hotel Dien Bien Phu
This hotel seems to be mainly used by business people and large groups. The guide who dropped us said he had never collected from here before. The rooms were quite basic and musty smelling. We washed some clothes and they took 2 days to dry. The staff were wearing their coats in the restaurant - hard to tell who was staff and who were customers - no name badges either. Set on the outskirts of town next to the main lake in town. 5-10 minute walk to restaurants and shops.
