If it’s possible Hanoi is actually more mental than Saigon. On arrival its almost too much and makes you want to get out of there as soon as possible. If you’re arriving as a backpacker the city can be pretty hard work in terms of navigating your self around and finding cheap places to stay [...]

After Nha Trang we continued northwards to Hoi An – the tailoring capital of the world. To get there we took the night train which arrived in Da nang at 4.30am, and so because of the ridiculous time and there were no buses we took a taxi down to Hoi An which was about 20km [...]

That morning I went on a [...]

Although I had already planned to visit the Mekong Delta so many people I’ve met said it was amazing and the best thing they’d done in Vietnam.
I joined one of the 2 day mini trips as they are normally cheaper and quicker than doing it your self and as I just wanted to go down [...]

I’ve worked out that the first 36 hours I spent in Saigon I was asleep for 26 of them. I was literally out for the count as the last month caught up with me.
In the short while that I was awake I had a little wander round the city. Luckily everything in Saigon is relatively [...]
