Vietnam – Mui Ne: Days 15 – 17
The last of our trip was spent in Mui Ne. We went full out on the hotel for this part. It is a beach town and so we might as well stay at a nice place, right? Sailing Club Mui Ne was a lovely place to end our stay. Since the reviews said it was…

Vietnam – Nha Trang: Days 12 – 14
The first of our six days on the beach began in Nha Trang. Since a bus would have been a long 11 to 12 hours, we opted for a flight from the Danang airport to Nha Trang. From the small airport, we caught a taxi in to our hotel for a fairly reasonable fee, about…

Vietnam – Hoi An: Day 11
Perhaps the favorite city for all of us was Hoi An. Our hotel – Ha An – arranged pick-up for us around mid-day for a rather large fee ($18) considering it was only about 15-minutes away. The hotel seemed fairly nice, though our rooms were right next to the lobby and our room opened up…

Vietnam – Danang: Day 10
Continuing our move down the coast, we were off in the morning to Danang. The bus from Hue to Danang is just three hours and about USD5. We were dropped off somewhere in the main part of the city and then grabbed a taxi to Sandy Beach Resort. Funnily enough, we passed our bus on…

Vietnam – Hue: Day 9
We really only had the afternoon to do our sightseeing in the city as we were set to leave the next morning for our next stop. So, after settling in to the Orchid Hotel and refreshing a bit, we went off to explore the sights. Hue is a rather small city and truthfully much more…

Vietnam – Travel from Hanoi to Hue: Day 8
A full day of traveling to our next destination was spent for our half-way mark of our travels through Vietnam. There was a bit of waiting around as our boat made its way back to the port and we were shuttled back to land. In some ways it was a relief to return to a…

Vietnam – Halong Bay: Days 6 – 7
In the morning, Columbus Cruise came to pick us up from our hotel. After a few stops to pick up more of our travel companions, we were on our three-hour bus ride to Halong Bay for our two night/three day tour. At first, our tour guide, Hai, was a bit too talkative and happy for…

Vietnam – Hanoi: Day 5
Cities used to be my favorite places to be, but now I’m reconsidering if I’m a city-girl or not. Walking down the streets of Hanoi is so stressful to me with the incessant and mostly-unnecessary horn-honking. The sidewalks are full of motorbikes or squatting people having a chat, so pedestrians are mostly forced to walk…

Vietnam – Hanoi: Day 4
Realizing that we had a day longer than we thought in Hanoi, we decided to have a fairly lazy day starting with a bit of a lie in (aka 7ish). After a breakfast downstairs we settled on a plan to head to the train station to get our tickets down to Hue after we return…

Vietnam – Hanoi: Day 3
I had a terrible night’s sleep with backpacker’s alley being a busy locale until 3am and restless dreams the rest of the night. However, we were up bright and early to head out for our flight to Hanoi.We took Vietnam Airlines up. It’s just two short hours and the flight seemed alright though I was…
