Day Tripping Through Vietnam

We have just spent the last few days busing down the coast of Vietnam.

HUE
Just a few hours here, a break from the monotony of the long overnight bus journeys. We thought it deserved a quick look being the ancient Vietnamese capital. It was not unlike Chiang Mai, in that part of the old city is surrounded by a moat and it is walled as it would have been years ago.

Hoi An
My Son was supposed to be the highlight of Hoi An. Ancient Champa ruins, temples and villages, most of which was distroyed in the vietnam war. However, the little back streets of Hoi An with all the art galleries and photography exhibitions really impressed me.

Nha Thrang
Ah this was supposed to be our beach relaxing stop. A couple of days just chilling on the beach. However, it was not so. It was overcast and chilly - with nothing other than a beach, we headed south to Dalat.

Dalat
Again,we got our seasons wrong. This is a rainy season place - with walk through waterfalls. Unfortunately all were dry - so we just wandered around the city and headed for Saigon for the New Year.
