Hoi An

June 29, 2008

After waiting what seems like eternity, we decided to get a cab since our pick-up car didn’t show up at Danang airport. We paid US$10 for a taxi to get us to Hoi An. Half hour later, we saw the ancient, well-preserved town of Hoi An. Its buildings and street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign, that have combined to produce a unique heritage site.

Halong Bay

June 27, 2008

After three hours of bus ride from our hotel, we arrived at Halong City and board the traditional Chinese junk or cruise as they call it. Lunch is served while roaming around the labyrinth of the bay. We visited Sung Sot cave (The Sudden Surprise), a few rounds of kayaking and stop for a swim.

Board the night train from Hanoi to Lao Cai. After 8hrs on the soft sleeper, we reached Lao Cai at 5am. A pick-up bus was already waiting for us to bring us to Sapa which is another one hour ride.
