So after a long 26 hour bus journey, we finally arrive in Hue. the journey should have taken 12, but we became stuck in the middle of some floors in a few small villages for about 10 hours. The accommodation is much cheaper than Hanoi, about $8 dollars between us per night. We were tired and hungry but couldn't just go to sleep so we went for a drink with an American, Swiss and a Dutch. we found the gayest club EVER!! it was really odd, lots of Vietnamese guys all over each other and Joshes bum got squeezed by a female hooker and he was followed to the toilet by a man, besides that it was a fun night.
The following day we visited the Market and Citadel, we saw some elephants too unexpectedly. the evening we were still tired so we just watched some HBO movies.We left the next morning and arrived at Hoi An around lunchtime and found a nice cheap hotel, again $8 but with a pool this time! Its really weird we keep seeing the same people everywhere. We went to explore, ended up going to a bar in the evening with the same people we met in Hue called 'why not?' and spent around 1 pound a drink and got a free 'bucket' (jar full of rum,juice and something else) for free each time, we got a free bike ride there and back too. We got up and went for a swim in the pool and went to look at the tailoring. Hoi an is just full of tailors and cafes and then just has a nice beech, nothing else really.I decided to get a nice dress made for about 25 pounds, it was a really fun process, choosing your style, fabric, length cut etc. we went to a place called 'peace' it was highly recommended by our hotel. Josh gat a coat made too. we also went to a shoe talior called '09' and Josh had some addidas classics made with his name embroidered in the backs, they are really cool. We have to go back the next day. We went to the beach for a swim the next morning on bikes, the waters really nice and warm. We went back to the tailor and sent a whole package home with some other bits we have picked up on out way. The following day we went to the beach again, we walked this time and took around an hour, really really hot so we stopped at a organic vegan floating cafe for a drink. We stayed at the beach reading etc until the sun went down and got some food and went back on a bike to the town. Later we found people playing Bingo, not usual Bingo, you pay 10.00VD for a wooden card with 3 pictures on, there is a man and a woman singing to some drums and they pick a stick for a cup with a picture on a sing the rhyme, it was really fun and i almost won, you win a nice Lantern. We went back and watched Scream. The following day it was joshes match on the computer so we spend the morning getting ready, joshes wearing his favorite wife beater and got some cans of beer, we meet a guy josh has got quite friendly with, he is dutch and now it a devoted Brighton fan, we watch the game and go out after for some drinks in a bar. The next day we are leaving in the evening so we go for our last explore into town, then got ready for our 12 hour bus.
we arrived in Nha Trang at 6am, i didn't sleep on the bus so i catch up with a few hours. Our hotel is even cheaper $7 now but sadly no pool. We went out and got caught in a big rain storm, we were soaked through. we happened to find a veggie street vendor of 10,00VD (about 30p) a selection of there dishes available, really nice tofu and vegetables. the next day we found the American and Dutch girls went out in the day and in the evening went to another bar called 'why not' and another bar called 'Oasis' really fun night and Josh met a guy who went to his primary School called Roy, its typical Josh we see somebody he knows everywhere. We drink quite alot, the drinks were so strong and i met a really nice Aussie girl called Suzi, we just talked all night about stuff it was really cool. the next morning with a sore head we met Suzi for lunch, we took her to the cheap veggie vendor. I think she liked it and then i got my nails done, i only did this as my toes are half painted and need a cut. We then met the American and Dutch (Miranda &Lisa) and a Vietnamese guy called Bruce Lee and went for a beer.We went home again and watched some football. The following day we didn't do much. it rained really bad so we went to play pool and do the internet. we were meeting some people later for our last night in Nha Trang and we caught our bus in the morning to Mui Ne. We arrived in Mui Ne about 2pm in the pouring rain which was a shame so we ended up playing mini-golf, walking around abit , then giving up and going back for the night. We left Mui Ne the next morning and arrived in Ho Chi Minh at 2pm againg. Josh and I were lead to a dodgy looking hotel which we are staying in tonight, tomorrow we are visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels for the day.
