Have a good time in Vietnam. My friend Mike (you've met him) now lives in HCM City. He rang the other day and asked when WE were going. I said you were there. Let me know if you want to catch up with him on the way back....GF XX

Vietnam Vietnam!! Have you been ripped off yet? And why the hell are you catching the bus to Nha Trang!? Train it, baby! How's the weather? How long will you be in the country? Where did you stay in Saigon? Can you see the blog (it's yellow now!) or is it mysteriouisly unavailable again? Anyway, I KNOW you can upload photos from Vietnam, so do it already. Man, suddenly my day job is more boring than I thought. I'm jealous! Anyway, keep us posted!

Are you going to catch up with Theresa while you're in Saigon? I think I have her email if you have time before you head off again.

By the way, we're still working on a new design. Bec's been fiddling with colours as you may have noticed.

It's been a while

Well it's that time of time again! Paul and I are in the final stages of insecticiding our clothes and stuffing our packs and trying to break into our own combination locks. The plan is this: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam. 75 days. 3 border crossings. Some beach, some rivers, some lakes, some sub-zero mountain towns (Can't think why) and some runs diaries volume 2. This time round we're armed with a spanking new Nikon D90, bringing you the latest in photomatica and filmographity. Let's not forget two iPods totalling 160gB, two laptops (tiny ones) with another 40gb between them, and three, count them, three 16gB SD cards. Who said we'd be on holiday!? So stay tuned and live vicariously through us as we tread the path untrod. Well it's probably well trod, but nowhere else will you find such regular and informative blog entries. Peace-out!

Honeymoon Capital of Vietnam

... First impressions of Dalat are a disappointment! Maybe we're comparing it too closely to Sapa. Maybe we got dumped in the ugly part of town. Lonely planet said we might be forgiven for thinking we'd walked into the French Alps at springtime. Dalat is certainly on a hill, but I see no other comparison. I did see one nice building from the bus ... And we haven't checked out the lake yet, or the golf course next to the lake which is about three times larger than it's neighbour. Apparantly there are some nice things to see out of town like waterfalls and stuff, but out of town is so far! And the moto drivers are so shifty and annoying. On the upside our room is nice and it comes with free internet (hence the long and whingy post) and free breakfast. This will either kick arse or totally suck, I will let you know tomorrow when I abuse the internet resources a little more. On a side note, my keyboard has no letters, so please forgive the typos.
