Crazy Vietnam

We got a bus from Vang Vieng in Laos to Hanoi in Vietnam it took 33 hours!!
The people on the bus didnt speak any English and wasn't very nice to us.

We arrived in Hanoi and it was pouring down with rain, and lots of taxi drivers were shouting at us.
Also out bag stunk due to some type of lizard juice, that was in the luggage compartment on the bus which had spill on it.
Me and Kerry got a taxi with the 2 girls we had met Hannah and Jess on the bus and stayed at a place on the main street.
Went to a nice french restaurant and then went to go out however there is curfews in Hanoi and all places have to close at 11pm.
So we asked a taxi driver to take us to a club which was on a boat! It was mostly Vietnamese people and was kind of funny but we went back early and the next day went to a market to explore.

We decided the backpackers place would know where to go and party so we tagged along with them went to and irish bar which was kind of lame and then to hair of the dog which had a lock in and danced there untill 3am.

The next day we went to Halong Bay which we had a 3 day 2 night trip booked.

We were on the boat lots of rock formations and the scenery was so amazing like nothing i have seen before. We went to a massive cave and climbed up to a view point which had an amazing view of the bay. Then we Kayaked around the bay which was really good and i enjoyed a lot. Then had to go back on the boat and went to somewhere in the middle of the bay where we would sleep on the boat overnight.

Just as the sun was setting, we were jumping of the boat into the sea which was brilliant and then lay there for a while under the stars and saw some shooting stars before going below deck to sleep.

The next day we did a hike up to a view point over the jungle which was amazing then went to stay on Cat Bay Island. Right we all drank before we went out and then when we finally got out we had a bit of a disaster happen which resulted in me being bit by a dog.

The next day we went back to Hanoi and i went to the hospital and had some rabies jabs and paid lots of money for just the consultation! Then we all went and watched sex in the city 2 at the cinema.

The next day we flew to Danang and then got a taxi to Hoi An spent a few days here sun bathing on the wonderful beach and also got a tailor made suit.

Then we got a 12 hour bus to Nha Trang and went to check into my first hostel i would stay in! It was really nice and clean with air-con :). Then we met lots of really good people in the hostel.

One day in Nha trang we went to the waterfalls on the motor bikes i went on the back of Robs who drove very fast and i felt like i was gonna die lol. The waterfalls was really cool and some of the people were jumping into it from really high up.

Another day in Nha trang we went to the mud baths which was quite weird lol.

Altogether we stayed in Nha Trang for 6 nights it had an amazing beach we went on a few times and really good night life went to a couple of beach partys and also got very drunk a few times in Why Not Bar. Also met some really good people who we really got on with.

Then we went to Mui Ne spent a couple of days here. I actually drove a motor bike and we went to the sand dunes where we got hassled by loads of little kids to rent a sheet of plastic to slide down and it was to much they were charging. And it wasnt ever that good sliding down them just ended up with lots of sand all over you lol.

Then we went to Saigon (Hoi Chi Minh city) which was really busy and we went out to a really good club. Then the next next because we had to leave early we went to the cinema to watch Prince of Persia.

Right thats Vietnam updated im so behind this was in June i was there for 3 weeks just got, Cambodia,Thailand ,Hong Kong and China to update and in a week i will have Australia too lol.
