HOI AN
This is definately a cool town. Its pretty small and mainly famous for its tailoring (which I couldnt escape) and old colonial houses. Its beaches are well nice too.
We chose to go see the My Son ruins on our first day and although it was a bit of a way, it was worth going.

HUE
We had an excellent time here. We started off with a cyclo tour to the citadel.
ME AND THE CYCLO
The next day we took a boat down the Perfume River, spent the day on motorbikes, visited another temple, found an extra large snail, had lunch at a nunnery, learnt to make incense and conical hats [...] -
HANOI
Hanoi is a pretty cool town too. Went to see a water puppet show which was quite crap though. There is some humour involved but its not that worth it. I thoight it was going to be on the lake but instead it’s in a tiny theatre.

NINH BINH
The highlight of Ninh Binh was probably the extremely little door leading to Lizzie and Laura’s room. We only stayed for one night on the way to the much more beautiful Halong Bay!

VIENTIANE
The capital of Laos is quite a nice place too but with little to do in town an excursion was in need. First Gaynor, Barbara, Laura and me went to the Beerlao factory. We found little out about the beermaking process but had fun anyway.

LUANG PRABANG
In Luang Prabang we stayed in a really cute lodge just outside town. The highlight here was probably the Kuang Si Falls. On the say we also went to see some bears and Phet the tiger.
