Travelling South in Vietnam

euuugh im sat on the net and there is a cockroach by my feet! Nice touch!

Mon 10th April we took a plane to Hoi An.
Hoi and is a beautiful small town that has a nice beach 5km away. It's well known for having clothes made of lovely silks for cheap money. Needless to say I gained some - only 2 dresses though!

It is by far the nicest place in Vietnam so far with lovely bars and art galleries.
We hired bikes in the day and cycled to the beach a whopping 38 oC hot hot hot! Saying that the sea was still quite cold!

The sunsets there were lovely and the food was amazing too.

Yesterday(thurs 13th April) we caught a train from Hoi an to Nha Trang - due to be a 9hour journey but it was delayed - we left the hotel 9am and arrived in Nha Trang at 11pm - nice!
However we were lucky as we were first class and had a sleeper bunk. Aparently it was horrendous in the normal coaches playing vietnamese tv really loud the whole journey!

The views on the train were stunning. Everything you think of Vietnam - paddyfields, cows, ducks, chickens grazing, cemetaries, villages, haystacks, mountains - the lot - with a nice sunset to boot. Not bad for about 12pounds but we found out later we could have flown for 25pounds. It was worth the view but i wouldnt take the same trip twice!

Computer is playing up - i will update later.
