- Hanoi, Vietnam17.12.2011 – This morning is our last day in Hanoi, as tonight we are catching an overnight train to Hue. We took a final wander around the chaotic streets of the Old Town before heading to the Temple of Literature Posted by Long way home in Overland Adventures Home | Jan 7, 2012
- Halong Bay, Vietnam14.12.2011 – This morning we are on an organised trip to Halong Bay. It was tough choosing a boat to sail on, as there were so many and the prices varied significantly. We ended up choosing a boat called ‘A-Class’ Posted by Long way home in Overland Adventures Home | Jan 7, 2012
- Hanoi, Vietnam12.12.2011 - After checking into our hotel and freshening up, we took a wander around the old quarter streets. It's pretty impressive, each street has it's own speciality, metal, jewellery, silk, herbs, mirrors and even gravestones. You want it, you Posted by Long way home in Overland Adventures Home | Jan 7, 2012
- On the Move===No.16=== We awoke today quite late, around 9.30, relaxed and ready for our late check-out. We were relaxing in the bed when suddenly the silence was broken by the telephone! It was reception, reminding us that check-out was at 12.... Vlad underst Posted by clm2708 in A snapshot of Vietnam | Jan 7, 2012
- Vietnam - The beginning of 2012 for The Holdsworths!Well, after reading about all of the scams that seem to happen in Hanoi, we got off the plane with our guard up. So far (touch wood) we have been pleasantly surprised and have found everyone to be genuine. We Posted by Cass - Lee in Cass & Lee's RTW Adventure | Jan 6, 2012
- A Blazer of a Day===No 15=== We woke up this morning excited about picking up our garments from the tailors. We were told to come at 11 in the morning so we got ready for the day and went into town. We had a lot Posted by clm2708 in A snapshot of Vietnam | Jan 6, 2012
- Miss Saigon After mucking up my flight booking and spending 5 hours hanging around in Hanoi airport (not the greatest place on earth to get stuck) I eventually arrived at my oasis in Saigon. It could have been much longer had Posted by Sussex Sam in Insert witty title here...... | Jan 5, 2012
- Food Euphoria===No. 14=== We awoke to the sound of a pattering rain on the roof, which was not quite what we were hoping for today. We knew that the weather forecast was a chance of rain but we were hoping that we Posted by clm2708 in A snapshot of Vietnam | Jan 4, 2012
- Good Morning Vietnam!Our first day in Vietnam we ventured out to get our bearings. Our first challenge was figuring out how to cross the street, and I have to admit it was kind of scary, but we did it. The Posted by mdudun in Ron & Marti's Big Adventure | Jan 4, 2012
- The Mysterious Adventures of VietnamI FINALLY pulled together our footage from Vietnam. It includes everything from kayaking in Halong Bay to motorbiking past rice fields, sledding down sand dunes and hanging out with reclining Buddhas. Movies from Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia Posted by bucketbath in Bucket Bath | Jan 4, 2012
- Meals like Jagger===No.13=== We woke up on the last day of our visit in Hue to bright blue skies., the first we had seen our entire trip. It seemed fitting that we should have breakfast outside so we headed to a little cafe Posted by clm2708 in A snapshot of Vietnam | Jan 4, 2012
- The Citadel City===No.12=== The third floor of Ha Noi Airport was deserted. It gave us some much needed privacy away from what Vlad described as 'Aggressive Tourism'. We counted down the minutes, with Vlad checking whether or not our flight was checking-in baggage Posted by clm2708 in A snapshot of Vietnam | Jan 3, 2012
- Ha Long by Night===No.11=== We've been doing so much travelling the last few days, that we have a bit of back-blogging to do! We begin on the morning of the 31st of December, in Ha Long City - preparing for our Emeraude Classic Cruise in Posted by clm2708 in A snapshot of Vietnam | Jan 1, 2012
- Sunshine at lastWe took a last minute decision and got the overnight bus to Nha Trang, which wasn’t too bad as night buses go, but still not exactly comfortable. This was supposed to arrive at 6am, but we were kicked out at Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Jan 1, 2012
- These boots were made for walkingIt started out well. A fairly luxurious cabin on the train (certainly better than the Bangkok sleeper) . I wondered who my travelling companions would be.....turns out it was a Vietnamese couple and their son. They turned the lights out Posted by Sussex Sam in Insert witty title here...... | Jan 1, 2012
- Far from the Madding CrowdA break from the mayhem of Hanoi, three hours away northbound is Halong Bay. It's on the list for the new seven wonders of the world...so was thinking it must be pretty good. Bus journey kicked off with a half full Posted by Sussex Sam in Insert witty title here...... | Jan 1, 2012
- Cooking up a storm Top Gear made the Hai Van Pass famous, and we did consider going along this scenic route on the back of motorbikes. However, the weather meant we wouldn’t have seen anything, so it was just as well we took the Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Jan 1, 2012
- The Trek DownOh haaaiiii! Sorry for dropping off the grid but I took a mini vaca from my open-ended vaca. I can already feel the repercussions from everyone on how illegal it is for me to say those words, but Posted by chang2n in Forever Summer | Dec 31, 2011
- Hello Ha Long===No.10=== We began our last day in Sa Pa early, going down to the hotel lobby for breakfast - bacon and egg baguette, and a Pho Ga ('Ga' means that it is chicken). Both meals were again, delicious. It seems where Posted by clm2708 in A snapshot of Vietnam | Dec 29, 2011

- Among the H'Mong===No.9=== Morning life in Sa Pa is not like the hustle and bustle of Ha Noi - the streets are relatively calm, just the sound of children on their way to the local school and a few scooters beeping up and Posted by clm2708 in A snapshot of Vietnam | Dec 28, 2011
- Hoi An setbacksWe're in Hoi An now, which is, from what I can gather, a pretty beautiful part of Vietnam, however sadly in the two days I've been here I have seen very little of it. After drinking some bad water in Hue Posted by whatthepho in The misadventures of the gapyap boys | Dec 28, 2011
- Distant memories of HanoiOn our second day, as we got more used to the functioning of the rediculous metropolis that is Hanoi, we caught a 3000 dong bus to the museum of ethnology (that's 15 cents australian. insane.) the place was fascinating, if not Posted by whatthepho in The misadventures of the gapyap boys | Dec 28, 2011
- "You can tell yourself you've cycled the Himalayas..."On the fourth day of our hike through Sapa, climbing a steep hill on what the main road, complete with metre-deep continuous ruts, I heard this. It was said to us by an american we crossed paths with heading downhill on Posted by whatthepho in The misadventures of the gapyap boys | Dec 28, 2011
- More from SaigonI feel that I owe everyone something light-hearted again, after such a serious post on Christmas Day. Plus, I still owe you some pictures of my hotel in Saigon, and my hotel here at the beach in Nha Trang. Also, Posted by feiheli in Vietnam | Dec 27, 2011
