Day 60

Friday, 16 Nov 2012 | Views [295]

The night seemed to drag on and on like a bad conversation with your wife, discussing why you didn't put the toilet lid down. It was a rubbish nights sleep. Tossing and turning, waking up every now and again feeling like I hadn't been asleep at all.... Read more >


Day 58 & 59

Thursday, 15 Nov 2012 | Views [299]

Day 57

Tuesday, 13 Nov 2012 | Views [262]

Today was supposed to be a partial sight seeing day accompanied by my bra search. After breakfast and a slow packing of our day bag we headed out. The tea we had at breakfast had been Vietnamese green tea which Liam doesn't like, so first thing on the ... Read more >


Day 56

Monday, 12 Nov 2012 | Views [271]

After breakfast (of which I snobbishly complained to Liam about because we get half of what we normally do with rooms half the price!), we caught the bus to our next destination. The bus was abit better than the last one, and surprise surprise the couple ... Read more >


Day 54 & 55

Saturday, 10 Nov 2012 | Views [221]

Saturday Another travel day today, we had the chance for a lie in but I woke up early still do wasn't a happy bunny. The bus was 40 minutes late for pick up, and it was quite a small thing with little leg room and the overhead shelves wernt big enough ... Read more >


Day 53

Friday, 9 Nov 2012 | Views [217]

We had booked onto a tour for today so we were up, breakfasted and ready by 8.30. We were picked up in a mini van with 6 others to spend the day with. Our tour guide was called 'xu' and she was really nice. First stop was one of the many allotments to ... Read more >


Day 52

Thursday, 8 Nov 2012 | Views [206]

We decided to go and see a few sights ourselves today despite it being a lot of walking. So after breakfast we set off for the 8km walk to the meditation centre. We went the wrong way though and did a good 3km extra than what we needed! On the way we ... Read more >


Day 51

Wednesday, 7 Nov 2012 | Views [300]

I got up earlier than Liam today to go have an hour on the beach before check out. It was a really nice hour laying by myself on the sand and it was early enough for the beach to be emptier and late enough for the sun to be nice. We packed up, checked ... Read more >


Day 49&50

Monday, 5 Nov 2012 | Views [192]

Monday 5th Not much to write for today really, we had another beach day today only I stayed in the shade of the palm trees and Liam did a little bit of sunbathing on and off. It was a really nice day, we read, listened to music, had the most amazing ... Read more >

Sunday, 4 Nov 2012 | Views [196]

Day 46

Friday, 2 Nov 2012 | Views [267]

We both slept fairly well lastnight considering the potential for disaster. The train was quieter than the last one, but we were disturbed at I think from around 5am ish by the Vietnamese men waking up. They all seem to speak very loudly, half the time ... Read more >


Day 45

Thursday, 1 Nov 2012 | Views [177]

Another leisurely get up today, just plodded along this morning and spent the morning getting sorted and packing for 12pm check out. We were able to leave our bags in reception for the day which is helpful because our taxi isn't until 8.30pm so we have ... Read more >


Day 44

Wednesday, 31 Oct 2012 | Views [155]

Lastnight we watched a walking dead episode so I was a bit late getting onto Skype. Liam fell asleep during my conversation with them, I was on for an hour and it was great! It was just like being with them only they got to eat cake and I didn't! I ended ... Read more >


Day 43

Tuesday, 30 Oct 2012 | Views [264]

We both slept like a log lastnight, we were so tired. The bed is massive again and we were both so tired we were asleep as soon as the lights were out. I woke up when the alarm went off, no sooner...and Liam was about a meter away from me! We both really ... Read more >


Day 42

Monday, 29 Oct 2012 | Views [224]

After another wonderful breakfast we checked out and met our biker guides for the day. All of our bags were strapped onto the bikes, helmets on and off we went. The route was so much better than what we would have taken on the bus as well as the ... Read more >


Day 41

Sunday, 28 Oct 2012 | Views [246]

Woke up feeling quite disorientated this morning with calf muscles hurting a bit...must be from the long walk yesterday. We had a leisurely wake up, went down for our buffet breakfast which easily rivalled the last hotels breakfast for less than half ... Read more >


Day 40

Saturday, 27 Oct 2012 | Views [263]

Apart from some banging of something knocking against the train at 4am last night we both had a good enough sleep. I was on the bottom bunk, Liam was on the top. We were all awake by about 7.30am, sorted ourselves out ready to get off and spent the last ... Read more >


Day 39

Friday, 26 Oct 2012 | Views [226]

Apparently it rained a lot lastnight but neither of us heard a thing, we slept really well again. I've had better nights sleeps in the boat than anywhere else since leaving England.  We went for breakfast which turned out to be a 'pre breakfast' ... Read more >


Day 38

Thursday, 25 Oct 2012 | Views [170]

We both had a really good nights sleep, not enough but a good one! Waking up on the boat was disorientating at first but then you look out of the window and the sea and the view was stunning. We had a wonderful breakfast, it was way too much food. It ... Read more >


Day 37

Wednesday, 24 Oct 2012 | Views [249]

We both woke up feeling a bit better then yesterday but still extremely tired and in need of a lot more sleep! We ate at the buffet again before heading downstairs to store our bags, check out and get our refund for the taxi money. The mini bus ... Read more >
