23-27 April: Ninh Binh to Hue happiness
Time to hit the road again!! Next stop Ninh Binh. Ninh Binh was something that we decided to do upon a recommendation from a local tourist Office. Trang An Grottoes (the national park just outside the town of Ninh Binh) was described to us as the inland version of Halong Bay. We loved Halong so […]

20-22 April: Superb Sapa
Duncan and I have discovered that we are not big city people. Hanoi is great, exciting and a flurry of colour and craziness but we instantly feel better as soon as we leave the big smoke. Sapa gave us the most memorable and remarkable experience on our trip yet. Sapa is an old French holiday […]

17-19 April: How long to Halong… Bay
With the craziness and mayhem of Hanoi seeping from our pores, Kam and I decided to throw away the mopeds and vespas for junks and tourists and do what all travellers seem to do, take on the 2 ‘must-do’ side trips from Hanoi; Halong Bay and Sapa. You may not have heard of the name […]

14-17 April: Hanoi Haze
With the peace, tranquillity and calm of the hot springs of NZ still echoing in our ears, we were suddenly hurtled into the chaos, craziness and crowds of Hanoi and Vietnam. Vietnam was described to us a country whose soundtrack is like Spinal Tap, cranked up to 11. This is certainly the case in places […]

10-14 April: Goodbye New Zealand
So today is our last day in New Zealand, and we are spending it in a palatial hotel room in extremely close quarters to Auckland International Airport (cough cough). So tomorrow morning we fly out at 7am to Hanoi (via Hong Kong) so we dare say that this is the last of NZ that we’ll […]

8–10 April: It’s HOT, HOT, HOT springs!
We have had such a great time in NZ, and considering we only made up our mind to come here a few weeks prior to arriving, it has been an amazing stop! What we have to take out of NZ is it is definitely the land of extremes. Extreme highs (hot springs temperature), extreme lows […]

4-6 April: Auckland Arrivals
Hi all! So it’s officially happened. We are now overseas, although the friendly people, the relaxed atmosphere, and the similar (but still yet funny) accents make us feel like we’ve never left! Currently Kam and I are sitting in an awesome pub built in 1864, sipping down some local ales, and munging on a bowl […]
