We hopped on a bus up to the capital city. We were expecting madness with transport but were pleasantly surprised that it was fairly easy, although our bus had a few mechanical issues which delayed us slightly. That said we had a wee bit of madness ... Read more >

Cambodia! Why have you left us? Was it because we had been sleeping with Vietnam? Only leaving two weeks in this most welcoming land was one of our biggest mistakes so far. We just kept using more and more time in Laos and Vietnam, for some reason ... Read more >

Setting off from Saigon we headed across the Mekong delta on our way to Phu Quoc Island. We realised that time was quickly passing us by, leaving us less time to explore the delta as much as we would have liked.  We stopped off at Can Tho, one of ... Read more >

After four days of cross-highlands motorbike travel we decided to take a couple of days chilling out in the relaxed 22 km stretch of sand at Mui Ne Beach. As it was tipping it down with rain and the resort we arrived in was quiet we managed to haggle ... Read more >

The French have a lot to answer for. They’ve invaded and left their mark on all the countries we’ve visited on this trip and this was no exception. From the small French bakeries selling chocolate muffins to excite and delight Angie (who feels starved ... Read more >

Halong Bay I can’t believe how far behind we are with our blog so I shall try and keep this fairly brief. After Sapa we made our way back to Hanoi to get on a trip to Halong Bay. We had debated if this was going to be extremely touristy but took the ... Read more >

Hue So after an eventful boarder crossing we stayed in Hue to try and relax for a few days. This was a big change to the laid back style we had been used to in Laos and we weren't so used to everyone trying every trick to part us from our money. Despite ... Read more >
