Day 33 – Hoi An
Breakfast was an array of cold frittered fruit and cold pineapple pancakes which wasn’t too bad. Probably the most unique breakfast I have had so far. We were up early because we were all going for a bike ride to the beach. A few dipped out though due to belly sickness or uneasiness with the [...]
Day 32 – Hue to Hoi An
The morning in Hue was our own free time until 12pm, so I wandered the streets randomly after breakfast and spent time talking to a guy who takes people on motorcycle tours around Hue. Later I found out the others had all found the markets (individually) and I got midly annoyed that I had missed [...]
Day 31 – Hue
Sleep was fitful but mostly quiet except for some guy walking down the hallway whistleing in the middle of the night. What the fuck is up with that? It’s always cool to wake up with stuff going past the window. Toilet was one of those ones that drop straight on to the tracks which isn’t [...]
Day 30 – Hanoi
Early solo breakfast in the hotel then met with the tour group at 8.30am. This was our first trip together as a complete group and I got to meet the two young Aussies Lisa and Luke (first time overseas for Luke first in Asia for Lisa). 9 of us in the tour van and our [...]
Day 29 – Halong Bay to Hanoi
A maintenance type of day today. Woke up at 6.15 for what I thought was 7am breakfast (turned out to be 7.30). Outside my window was a magneficent view of halong bay rocks and water surrounded my mist. Had the top of the boat to myself for a bit of a walk and it was [...]
Day 28 – Halong Bay
Not a great breakfast to start the day, sort of cold vegetables, not very nice sausages and some fruit with yoghurt. I’d had a good sleep though on a comfy bed and was checked out and waiting in the lobby at 8am for my ride to Halong Bay. If you have seen Top Gear Vietnam [...]
Day 27 – Bangkok to Hanoi
So the trip to the airport was a groundhog day replica of yesterday although different hotel it was another old Volvo. This time my visa passed and I made it through passport control through to the shopping mall that is the Bangkok international airport. Ping banana drink for breakfast which was strawberries and banana [...]
Day 26 – Bangkok
4.15am I wake up after a fitful sleep of hourly checking the clock so I don’t sleep through the alarm. An uneventful checkout and a dark drive in an old boxy Volvo to the airport (free as part of the accommodation). Go to the kiosk to try using my barcode checkin to print my boarding [...]
Day 25 – Bangkok
Not much to tell today. Wanted a rest day and since I had to move hotels to be closer to the airport for my 6.55am flight to Hanoi I didn’t check out until 11.30am and took a taxi direct to the new hotel. For breakfast I went to McDonalds cause i wasn’t up for a [...]
Day 24 – Bangkok Grand Palace
Really hard to motivate myself this morning. Slept in till 8 easily, then headed down to the hotel restaurant (called Foodie) for a buffet breakfast. Although tasty it wasn’t anything to rave over and I probably didn’t get great value out of it. I’d put a sign on the door saying come back later while [...]
