A transport hub to see Halong bay on rice fields, floating villages, Vietnam's first National Park and some cool pagodas. That's the plan - the reality is me getting flu and feeling sorry for myself. I managed a day on the back of a bike to see some ... Read more >

How does anything not disappoint after the mini adventure of motorbiking...accidents and all? By going to Halong Bay, obviously? It's a world heritage site and you can forgive the rip-offs and the mass tourism...it is fantastic! As part of our day ... Read more >

It's a plane journey to Hanoi...NOOOOO! another one, so much for me travelling without flying. We are nearly ripped off within 30 mins of setting foot outside the airport. $2 for the ride into town which turns into $3 to take us to our hotel - they ... Read more >

We have it all on a plate. For $101 for the 3 of us we can have a guide, rent motorbikes, go trekking for 2 days and sleep in a bungalow. That's too expensive...so we rent bikes and head off to the park ourselves. Dagrun has our bags strapped to the ... Read more >

On the journey To Dalat we meet two Norwegian girls, who are travelling for a bit while they study in Vietnam. It's supposed to be a 7 hour journey but takes 9. Due to past experiences I count this as a result, meeting two girls makes it doubly so :) ... Read more >
