Nimh Binh

Image
We were advised by some mad Irish lads we met to visit Nimh Bin. So instead of going to Hoi An where Joanne and Aiden advised we came here. (to get to Hoi An was an overnight train/bus (17hours) and it was quite expensive and because we didn't have much time in Vietnam we didn't want to limit our time!) So we took a 2.5 hour bus to nearby Nimh Bin. As we arrived in we were less than impressed and started to pay particular attention to the 'Bin' part of the name! It was a grubby run down town. Before we had arrived to our hostel we decided to leave promptly for Hoi An! Our hostel was cool though, it was an old train station, we had a lovely big room and the facilities were great. We went out looking for some food and were drawn in to a place by a lovely girl waving hysterically at us. As we sat down she explained how the other places here were fast food and American food, not authentic Vietnamese, she then lead me into the restaurant where large pictures of their fa...

From Bangkok to Koh Tao

Image
Arrival to Bangkok was smooth baggage was there waiting for us, grabbed a taxi pretty quickly and we were feeling so good about our night in Bangkok, hotel was a bit tricky to find but once we got there we were relieved to find a comfortable room and great shower facilities!! Too late to venture out we opted for an early night to catch up on our sleep! Up early now to see this wonderful city.....only we woke up at 3.45 the following day following disrupted but heavy sleep! With one hour till it was dark we ran to reception asking what was close, she directed us to the MbK centre. So it's a big indoor market, all stalls selling high quality knock offs! Interesting enough so we had a little wander some food and very proudly walked back to or hostel! Found the city very safe, people so friendly and helpful and would have liked to have seen more of it but wahay we are on our way to Koh Tao via an overnight train and a ferry! Don't manage to bag a bed but a fairly comfortable seat w...

Luang Prabang

The boat dropped us to shore at Luang Prabang at about 5pm.  Instead of going all the way to the town it dropped us about 10k outside it. Giving the local tuk tuk drivers some business. We hoped on with a load of Irish actually one Dutch, one Brit and an American dude who looked like 'The Dude' from the Big Lebowski. Was a good laugh as the majority of them were drunk. Beside us though were the Irish couple from the guest house! We had accommodation booked in Khonsavan Guest house (4 bed dorm). The rest of them didn't so when we arrived the Irish couple hopped off to see if our place had some space. They did not! Off they went in search of somewhere to stay but not before exchanging facebook names! When they were settled in a place nearby they messaged us about going for some food with them. We strolled through the night market and ate in some local place which was lovely. We all played it safe with some veg rice! Went for a drink, had a great chat with them. The ...
