Saigon

Finally..after 14 days,almost 50 hours bus journey, 6 hotel rooms and lots of noodle soup I made it to Saigon.It's a big messy dirty city but I like it. I found a friendly hotel and rented a tiny room without windows in a small alley full of scraming kids, smoke and restauant smells,love it..feels so real. Will spend couple of days here.

On the road

It's 8am and I am waiting for the bus at my hotel.It will get me to Saigon in about 5 hours.My Vietnamese trip is about to finish and another 2-3 countries are on the way. I'll upload few pictures from Mui Ne as soon as I can. For now, I wish you a good weekend wherever you are. Cheers

Mui Ne

Long but beautiful bus journey trought the south of Vietnam.I've arrived at lunch time in Mui Ne.Nice town by the sea side.Going to spend couple of days here.It'so hot and sunny :-). Tomorrow trip to the sand dunes and back at this family resort to enjoy the swimming pool. I am taking a rest from my camera..I want to enjoy thw place as it is.

Dalat Easy Rider

Dear friends. I just got back in my hotel from a day out in the vietnamese coutryside on a motorbike. Was a nice sunny day ( most of the time) and an amazing experience to visit farms, waterfalls and amazing hills road with a Dalat Easy Rider on the back of a motorclycle.Going to take it easy tonight as tomorrow I am travelling again to Mui ne in the early morning.

In Dalat

Ok..I am tired now but so proud I made it. I had a 19 hours bus trip from Hoi An (Cetral Vietnam) to Dalat (The south, mainland). After this long trip I didn't really want to walk around and find an hotel so I accepted the deal I was offered  in front of the bus station.. 8 dollars per night.

This small city is situated on the mainland, close to the mountains. The weather is so different than all the other places I've been so far in Vietnam. It's kind of chilly, and after more than a month I will have to get out of my backpack long trousers and trainers ( I will miss my havaianas for couple of days). The locals..as many little towns in south Vietnam, are really friendly..even if their English is not so good ( all they can ask you is where you come from..then the conversation end). My plan was to find a Easy Rider and paying a day tour around the countryside with him. I had someone in my mind, a friend's recommendation..but as I couldn't reach him by phone I met a fantastic guy at my hotel that not only offered me a good price but showed me all the good feedback on FB and Couchsurfing websites. So I said...let's just do it. Tomorrow I will be an Easy Rider for a day ( I mean..he is..I will be just on the back of the motorbike enjoying my day).

I will upload many pictures dear followers.
My trip down Vietnam is almost done.. I will be in Saigon by the weekend.

Lots of  love,
Andrea
