Hello again. Yesterday we left the Kimdo hotel in Saigon and headed for Qunohn. Before we left Nate and I decided to walk around and find out what was around the hotel. There was a lot of shops selling anything from newspapers around the world to backpacks. We didn't want to buy anything so we wouldn't have to lug it around vietnam with us. We w...

I keep reminding myself that this is an adventure and when the opportunity presents itself--take it.

The 5 hour journey was uneventful apart from me waking myself up, and scaring Ben and the driver, with a massive snore! Oh ye...

Hello again. Quy Nhon is a small, coastal town that easily gets missed along the tourist route between Saigon and HaNoi. It is, however, conveniently located midway between Nha Trang and Hoi An.
