vietnam

Hey guys !! I am officially in Cambodia i got here two days ago....... anyhow Vietnam starting from the top.
The trip from Laos to Vietnam ... are you ready for this. Setting off from Laos half one in the afternoon to arrive in Vietnam at eight in the evening the next day. The first bus we got took us 3 minutes around the corner, to get another bus which took us to the capital of Laos, where we had to get another bus to another bus to another bus which took us to Vietnam. The bus which took us to Vietnam was packed, so packed I had to sit on rice bags on the floor along with some other Lao people (the other tourist refused to sit on the floor). It was actually better than you imagine I slept nearly all the way there, I was a bit unsettled at first as a cock-crouch crawled on me I'm not a fan as you could imagine. When we arrived we managed to find a place to stay straight away which was great, we were tiered and officially stank (thought you might like to know). Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam the city is actually the nicest city iv been to in South East Asia. The traffic in Vietnam especially Hanoi is insane, mopeds everywhere, horns constant and at a cross road everyone at once. Me an Caiti went to see a traditional puppet show which was good the colors and music beautiful, the only problem was that me and Caiti were very tiered still from our journey we fell asleep towards the end and decided the wall of the theater looked like chocolate (expensive stuff over here). When Courtney and Charlotte joined us after three days in Hanoi we all decided to go to Ha-long bay. The journey there was actually decent, we were all squished on the back row with another five rows in front of us with five locals on each row, only took three hours. On the journey I made a fact for the world to know, The locals like to play chicken whilst driving (for those of you that don't know what it means, you go head on head with another vehicle.) scary stuff I close my eyes. When we got to Ha-long bay we found out the three day boat trip was quite expensive so me and Charlotte went and agreed to meet the others in Hoi-an. The boat trip was stunning, turquoise water, limestone cliffs peering out everywhere, sun shining loved it. On the boat trip we saw an amazingly big cave, went kayaking, did flips and jumps off the boat, hiking (I managed to fall on a rock and hurt my leg it has just healed now) and enjoyed the scenery. There is a story about disgusting tea too on a creeky water house, I shall not go in to detail as face expressions are needed. :s ! lets just say dirty, seaweed, manky, but hilarious. We then went on to meet Caiti and Courtney in Hoi-an.... Hoi-an is the place people go to to get clothes tailor made, every one got some amazing clothes. But that is all so we moved on after everyone received there clothes, although whilst there i got attacked by bed buds in one room and in the other we had a little friend munching away at our bed not sure of what it was. Next stop Nah-trang absolutely loved this place, beautiful beaches and coastline. We arrived at seven in the morning so we made the easiest decision to vegge on the beach, as the afternoon came we got a little restless and had a bright idea to rent mopeds again. Charlotte and Caiti went and had a mud bath, me and Courtney went for a drive. We went round a lovely coast line, through a fishing village and back the other way to see the harbour. On the second day we booked to go on a boat where they take you snorkeling and swimming around the coast, it was such a good day apart from some jellies having a little sting. Not wanting to go but time running low we had to bust a groove to the next place Menui (not sure of the spelling). Menui was also absolutely stunning, we went for a walk on the main beach front which was long allowing the kite surfers to play, the second day we woke at four in the morning so we could see the sun rise over the dunes. We disturbed the silence due to the fact we were sand boarding. The last stop of Vietnam was Ho Chi-min City, we stayed there for three days, on the first we went to the War museum, which was very interesting and shocking, we also visited the market where I bought the most amazing apple!!!. On the second day we hit the water park, it was sooo much fun and as you could imagine we were the oldest there by far but it was fun as the all the school kids wanted to join us going down slides. That night we went out for the last supper we splashed out and had ourselves a bloody good meal. The day I left for Cambodia was the day me and Charlotte had to depart from Caiti and Courtney who we have been traveling with for five weeks and cracking weeks they have been too, emotional stuff We shall meet again. (Im going to new york)
