We are back! A few weeks later, we are now half way down Vietnam. Been an exciting cheap experience. Flew into the capitol Hanoi, home to thousands of motorbikes and 1km strip of dog meat restaurant!! Crossing the road means a whole new meaning in Vietnam.
Travelled by night, soft sleeping train (no more hard sleep like 22 years ago) to the north, great cool scenery, stayed in the home stay with locals before moving east to Ha Long Bay. Spent a night on the junk amongst 2000 lime stone peaks and a further night on an isolated island.
From here, 29 hour bus travel brought us to Hoi An. Beautiful laid back town, staying in great hotel, relaxing, cycling before moving to Ho Chi Minh next week, followed by Cambodia and Loas.
