Audrey and Christine hooked up with us last night and we drank beer and played table football into the early hours, so I've spent the best part of today feeling rough and hanging round the pool. Missing breakfast I thought I'd mooch over to the market and eat something interesting but in the heat I felt my apetite fading and ended up eating noth...

Still in Vietnam and writing this whilst waiting for a bus, again! Pretty good bus system though, even though the only bus to our next place gets in a t 1.00am, not great but we have somewher to pick us up. Pretty much had the day to waste today after we went to see some runis at sunrise this morning. We decided to go back to the beach again (we...

Hoi An, is a small port city. Everything you ever wanted Asian that is not electronic you can get in this city. Paintings, Lanters, etc. They also have a ton a tailors here that make clothes based on your measurments. I have having two button down shirts and a pair of jeans made for me. Total cost is 43$. The city its self is not that impressive...

Today has been Chamtastic. (For a precis of who the Cham are read the last entry stoopid!!) We left Nha Trang on anothr delightful Vietnam Air Flight (I'm not even thinking about carbon footprints). Only 7 of us on the flight and a lovely sandwich of unrecognisable meat that gave me the giggles. It reminded me of amanda and I coming back from Ro...

So we arrived Hoi An to yet more flooding! This **** weather is due to the Typhoon in the South China Sea (Its meant to be the bloody dry season!!). Hoi An is a historic merchant town and was once one of the busiest trading posts of South East Asia. However as I discovered on our orientation tour of the town - the trading element was thoroughly ...

At the moment we are in the ancient city of Hoi An but spent a good 3 days in Nha Trang which was so much fun. The boat trip was hilarious...basically one big booze cruise. After lunch they set up a 'Floating Bar' which consisted of a crazy looking old man sitting on a hoop with a crate of terrible wine dishing it out to everyone as we all float...

Hanoi is a dump, but despite that we made the most of it. Itīs huge, filthy and stinks and the pollution is awful. The accomodation we stayed in was vile. Letīs just say the rats were the least of our problems!! We left them behind and off we went to explore the city. Two drunk drivers later and a near miss from one of their fists I was sitting ...

Howye, So we got on with it anyway. Another long overnight journey. I dont think it was as bad as the one to Sapa, simply because we were getting used to it. This one was longer than before. After a big row with the agent that we booked the trip with in Hanoi, ( They're all total f**n chancers and rip off artists) we agreed to take the sleeper t...

Peoples!! Hoi An Is beautiful. Ever building has a taylor and will build clothing for you on the spot. We got sucked in and had a selection of clothing built includind bikinis for Ash. You can get a suit made complete with shoes, ****, I mean shirt for about $200 US. We hooked up with an Irish guy and his girlfriend. Being Irish he was perfect c...

Hoi An is a fairly pleasant little place, I suppose. I'd recommend a visit no longer than a day unless you're planning on getting measured up for a cheap new wardrobe at one of the many tailor's shops. This place is a firmly established stop for the 'open tour' tourist busses and has a predictable collection of riverfront restaurants and 'local ...
