DAY 1 Our “bus” came to pick us up and it turned out to be two motorbikes who were to take us somewhere for the bus, I refused to get on them because I had a huge backpack and another small bag with all my valuebles too, which would of made it nearly impossible to hang on. The other reason was…

We never really got the chance to explore last time we were here so now we're going to have a good look around, you never know we may even venture into a museum....well probably not actually but the thoughts there!!!! The bus from  Mui NE, a mere 200 km away picked us up at 1.30, so even usin…

Day 4, travel to Mekong River. We took a boat trip travelling on Mekong River, then we went to an island, there, people were making coconut candy. Very fresh, worth to try! And we went to a garden on the island, trying their fruit there, but not too special. One thing was nice, that was the honey …

Ausgeschlafen. Mit Jan ausgiebig und offenbar zuviel gefruehstueckt.  Hatte das erste mal ein bisschen Magengeschichten...ist aber wieder weg. Nach dem Fruechstueck ausgecheckt und mit dem Tuktuk zum Flughafen. Leider wurde der Start nicht so arrangiert, das man die Tempel vom Flieger aus sehe…

Day 1So we have been told that there's nothing much to see around this place but for us, there's a lot! *Wayne hands in the wikitravel printout* "Alright duck, choose the first bar for tonight!" Ahahahaha! *And the wiki pubcrawl continues...* LOL! Just right across our hotel, you'd find a bar calle…

From my 1 year and 9 months vacation heading home to my home country!

Bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh:We left on the 1:00pm "Mekong Express Limousine Bus" bus to Vietnam from Phnom Penh. It cost $13 USD and I would highly recommend that you use this bus company. They serve you water and a snack and they take care of your passports and exit/entry from both countrie…

Amazing trip

Nice place for backpacking

Writing is never really my forte...so I will let these pictures tell the story of what have been happening throughout my journey in Vietnam. Hope you like them.

We have to get up at 6.30 am, but after sleeping like a baby all night long this isn’t too much of a problem. We go to the restaurant on the first floor to find out that breakfast in the Vien Dong Hotel is served in the restaurant on the 10th floor, so up we go again. The buffet looks pretty good…

It was onto The Socialist Republic of Vietnam, some more rain, a cool Dutchman named Tim, an ultra fresh Vietnamese girl named Linh, motos ��" millions of them ��" everywhere! Some chi-town people I randomly met in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnamese coffee, bootleg DVDs galore, some “pho” (Vi…

  The Vietnam Airlines flight from Phu Quoc to Tan Son Nhaut  International Airport only took an hour and five minutes. The 820,000 VN Ðong fare (about US$46) was money well-spent, saving three hours on a fast-boat to Rach Gia and seven more on a death-defying bus trip through the Mekon…

Our Plane (PAL) Arrived On Time. After disembarking we proceeded to the Immigration Counter (HCMC's Airport is very impressive, Very Clean and Modern, Better than NAIA 1 and 2 and 3). There were a lot of Immigration Counters, all were with long lines, but a Uniformed Man pointed us to Counter 34 wh…
