A bus with reclining seats took us from Hanoi to Ha Giang, which is only about 300 km away, in just 6.5 hours. At times, we wondered if the bus driver had gotten stuck on the...

Next country: Vietnam! We start in the south in Ho Chi Minh City and travel north from there: estimated time is 30 days (e-visa).. Let's see what the country has to offer :-)

Phu Quoc is marketed as a Vietnamese island paradise but has been marred by rampant developments in questionable architectural styles.

Hoi An is certainly one of the most attractive cities in Vietnam, with a vibrant bar scene and culinary experiences.

Hanoi, first day

How does that work? Just a play on words! Communism and Confucianism are omnipresent in Vietnam. For over seventy years, since the liberation from French colonialism,...

Today we explored Hoi An by bike, utilizing many safe yet interesting side streets.

Upon our arrival in Hoi An, we were surprised at how quickly the flood damage from late October - just three weeks ago - was being cleared up. The flooding we experienced was much...

Day 92 Da Lat We were already woken up by rain in the morning, which put a damper on our plans. First, we packed our things and then checked out of the wonderful hostel. The...

Day 85 Journey to Ho-Chi-Minh In the morning, I first swam a few laps in the pool, as it was really large and we hadn’t used it yet. After breakfast, we packed our things and...

There are historical events that are actually not far away – in terms of time, I mean. They happened less than 50 years ago or even during the time when I was already in the...

I sit on the deck, somewhere between these fairy-tale limestone islands, imagining I am alone. I am not, of course – around me, about fifty other boats are cruising, and I am...

I find calm in the most hectic place I have ever visited. Not completely, no - in my head, it still looks like the street: Thoughts about people and plans rush by, stumbling...

Hello from Vietnam! I have completed my first few days and I'm well settled now. In my last post, I mentioned that I was on my way to the Train Road and I was really looking...

After three hours of flying, we land on time in Hanoi. Laura's sister Carolyn is also due to arrive in a few hours. So we have more than enough time for a second breakfast and a...
