Yesterday we walked SO many miles so today was a rest day. In addition, it was 35 degrees all day and that is not the ideal temperature for exploring in! We found a local park with a swimming pool where we could chill for the day, it was called Van Read more…
The hostel only offers fried rice or fried noodles for breakfast so although I didn’t mind the rice, Beth went in search of a crossiant elsewhere haha. We also saw a Starbucks and thought we should sample the iced versions of our favourite orders 😉 We visited the war remnants Read more…
After picking up all our tailored gear we visited an ancient house in Hoi An, one that has been standing over 250 years. A lady named Bing showed us around her home and introduced us to her family members. There was some really strong framework in the house and beautiful Read more…
We started the day by walking around the old town but within 10 minutes we found ourselves buying tailor made shoes (oops!). The process took about twenty minutes to get fitted and choose the leather, and it was definitely cheaper than what you’d pay in the UK. After the shoe Read more…

You can’t come to Phong Nha and not see the Paradise cave, that would be Phong ‘Nahhhh’. To be honest, I was a bit caved out but Paradise cave is definitely a beauty. It was only discovered 10 years ago (people just wouldn’t have stopped in Phong Nha before!!) and Read more…
After our mad night out on the sleeper bus we woke up around 11am and went straight for lunch. We then wanted to visit Thien So cave and the plan worked perfectly because 9 other people turned up at the same time which made the boat a lot less expensive. Read more…
