Nha Trang is an incredible place! Golden beaches, cheap beer and hundreds of awesome nightclubs and bars! After 5 days however, we realised it was just like home - the Gold Coast. Dan and I taught English at a school for street kids while we were in Nha Trang which was pretty cool, I went and checked out the giant 'reclining buddha' statutes and...

Première ville où l'attrait principale est faire de la plage. Nous avions donc décider d'aller se faire dorer la peau au soleil a notre première journée... Bon, ça n'a pas été exactement comme prévu car au lieu du soleil nous avons eu droit a des nuages (et un peu de pluie). Mais bon, c'est pas ça qui allait nous arrêter. La journée suivante nou...

Up even earlier doors (05.15) and headed for the airport for a 6.45 flight. We expected Saigon to be asleep, how wrong we were. Motorbikes everywhere still - horns still blowing. People doing full on aerobics classes, playing badminton, eating and drinking on the streets....the lot, the place is mental. Boarded an old propeller style plane and l...

Nha Trang was apparantly a rest and relaxation area for US soldiers during the war, and for good reason. The place is beautiful, and in addition to excellent local seafood there is a local industry of "fresh beer" which is served to you in gigantic two liter metal jugs, and has been brewed without preservatives merely days (or hours) before cons...

Strawberrys? Pine Trees? Not the first two things that spring to mind when you think of Vietnam, but these are exactly what I found when I visited De Lat, a small town in the southern highlands 1500m above sea level. I only spent a day and a half here, but eager to use my legs rather than sitting on a bus I decided to use my full day to explore ...

After our glorious 12hour trip we arrived at 6m in Nha Trang is was amazing seeing all the locals out on the beach at that time in the morning going for a swim or just walking along the shoreline . We found a decent hotel straight away but a few minutes later we changed to even a nicer hotel as we had been put beside a conference room and the no...

Nha Trang has a beautiful stretch of white sand beach, a very popular resort area for both travellers and locals alike. The beach is beautiful with lines of neatly manicured coconut palms and an abundance of outdoor drinking areas and places to eat. After our typically Vietnamese breakfast of watermelon, pineapple and bread, I joined several oth...

Vietnam part 2 Hello folks, Update no. 2 from Vietnam. Yes we're still here two months later and like the place so much we'll be really sad to leave. Here's what we've been up to since our last post: Nha Trang: Ended up staying here longer than expected as had to extend our visas. Spent my birthday getting drunk on a boating trip with an Ozzie f...
