- DalatWe had a terrible sleep and had to get up early to make the most of our only full day in Dalat. I kept sleeping longer and was very grumpy. When we got downstairs we tried to book a tour Posted by meganjane03 in South East Asia | Feb 7, 2012
- Water worldThere were two ways to get to the Mekong Delta: the slow bus, or the exciting but still quite slow boat. We chose the boat. Saigon’s waterside shanty towns were soon replaced with lush green palms. [img=http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7033/6828469507_5d Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Feb 7, 2012
- Saigon. Ho Chi Minh City AKA Saigon. Population: 5.4 million. HCM or Uncle Ho (or the other 11 names he used at different times during his life) didn’t want a city named after himself. But it happened. He really didn’t want Posted by Justin Woolley in Whose idea was this.......? | Feb 6, 2012
- Good morning Vietnam (Day 13) So we jump in a minivan to the Cambodian - Vietnamese border. It takes border control an hour in the mid-day sun to stamp our passport twice (as well as having to pay a highly dubious ‘tourist charge’). Our bus Posted by Lynne Woolley in Whose idea was this.......? | Feb 6, 2012
- Hanoi, hooray!Back in Hanoi, our favourite holiday destination - hurrah! Arrived late afternoon, noticed lots more highrise buildings on the way in. Same hotel as last time, tiny backpacker-style place called Rising Dragon Hotel, 300m from Hoan Kiem Lake. Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten... VN Again | Feb 6, 2012
- A history lessonWe arrived after dark in Saigon (officially known as Ho Chi Minh City), and the streets around our hotel were buzzing with people eating and drinking outside. We joined them for an al fresco bowl of pho, washed down with Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Feb 6, 2012
- Beer Report: DaiViet Dark LagerFor Nerdia's workmates, here's a laydrinker's very brief review of a local beer: DaiViet 'Super Deluxe Quality Dark Lager Beer'. (5.9%, brewed and canned in Vietnam by Senprodimex.) Surprisingly dark (almost ruby?) and flavoursome for an Asian tipple, w Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten... VN Again | Feb 5, 2012
- Finns and Fine DiningOur last full day in Hue was fairly relaxed. Late breakfast at the Little Italy Cafe/DMZ Bar once more, where we were mistaken for Scandinavians by a friendly Finnish bloke. We're all escaping extreme temperatures back home: high Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten... VN Again | Feb 5, 2012
- Shopping, Shopping and More ShoppingLeisurely start yesterday, with a late breakfast at a streetside cafe instead of in the hotel. Returned to Little Italy Restaurant/DMZ Bar (nowhere near either location, by the way) for a delicious petit dejeuner: pork sandwiches for Plane Boy Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten...

- Back to Hue, or not back to HueMr Vu from Stop & Go Travel picked us up before 9am today to drive to Hoi An and back... or so we thought. Leaden skies and patchy light rain all day was no problem, comfy car and swift Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten... VN Again | Feb 3, 2012
- Checking out at Ho Chi Minh CityHello Everyone, first of all, a huge thank you to all who posted birthday messages for me - it was lovely to get them from so many of you, especially as we are unable to access any social networking sites Posted by charlieandross in World domination 2011-12 | Feb 2, 2012
- From hats to batsNerdia slept in this morning, but we did eventually set out for Dong Ba Markets, near the old Citadel. Fresh food and all sorts downstairs, with wider walkways than other markets we've seen; upstairs was a much more crowded Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten... VN Again | Feb 2, 2012
- Hue === The Imperial City of Hue, is culturally and historically significant. It was once Vietnam's Imperial City and later the country's capital under the Nguyen dynasty from 1802 to 1945=== Posted by charliebrown in Vietnam | Feb 1, 2012
- Nha TrangAfter arriving in Nha Trang after the worst bus/mini-van ride ever we were dropped off on the wrong side of town so we got in a taxi to our hotel (Sakura Hotel). When we got there we checked in right Posted by meganjane03 in South East Asia | Feb 1, 2012
- Tombs, Temples and the CitadelJust got back from an excellent full day tour of Hue. Visited several vast tomb and temple complexes in the morning - very interesting and quite pleasant not to be sweating on a tour for a change! Plane Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten...

- We Can't Read Vietnamese...Well, after Nerdia managed to lose last night's blog entry just as she'd finished typing it, we're going to try to keep them a bit briefer. :) So, yesterday: we picked up our errant suitcase from the airport at 7am, back Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten...

- Sun, sea and sand dunesDisappointed by the beaches in Nha Trang, we headed south to Mui Ne for a few days of relaxing by the sea. We treated ourselves to three nights in a ‘posh’ (for this trip) place on the beach with a Posted by ClareAndTom in Just a big holiday | Jan 31, 2012
- Made it to HueWe've arrived in Hue, though we could have reached London in the same amount of time given the 8 hour stopover in Hanoi. We'd been considering heading out of Hanoi Airport for a quick bit of sightseeing, but lost Posted by NarLin in The Nerds at Number Ten... VN Again | Jan 30, 2012
- Holy Cau Lao!Hoi An has been the highlight of our trip so far. It is a beautiful French Colonial town, in which the charming Thu Bon River divides the town. Hoi An is famous for it's culinary specialities and its tailors. Posted by kktmdb in Good Morning Vietnam! | Jan 29, 2012
- Hoi AnWe arrived in Hoi An in the afternoon and got dropped off in what we read was the main street for hostels to be on. We walked into three asking for prices and got a discount with Hop Yen but Posted by meganjane03 in South East Asia | Jan 28, 2012
- Da NangWe arrived in Da Nang at 3:00am and had no idea what we were going to do so we decided to just walk to the hotel we tried to book earlier and hope it went through or they had a Posted by meganjane03 in South East Asia | Jan 28, 2012

- Hoi AnHello again! Next, we went to the tailor place, where mom spent aaaall her money. Me too. Mac and Dad even got a couple of pants made. It was mostly a rainy place, so we didn't do anything too Posted by megan prawdzik in Wish You Were Here! | Jan 27, 2012
