Day 221 – Lulling about Lantern City
We skip breakfast today as we were up late last night; thankfully, the girl we’d come across scared had some people she knew in town who were able to look after her but we still didn’t get her calm properly until past 5am Our hotel is still kinda loud though so we’re up from about…

Day 218 – Is this the Huế to Amarillo (new pun for it’s correct pronunciation ????)
After a late night, we manage to sleep somewhat ok: woken up by a poor bugger throwing his guts up with what we presume was food poisoning, then about 8am the classical music ringing from downstairs and finally housekeeping having some gossip sessions by the rooms With a slow start, we chill for a bit…

Day 213 – Tam Coc’s waterways
Up for 9ish to make sure we don’t miss our free breakfast – not a bad view either After, we go back to our bungalow and do some work before getting started with the day Straight to the centre where we find the Tam Cốc-Bích Động ticket office – not too easy to find, especially…

Day 212 – The great journey back to mainland
We get heavy rain and a lightning storm last night – first rain we’ve had in almost a month – poor Dave struggled to get a good sleep Nevertheless, we’re up around 7am to make sure we get a coffee in the hotel room before popping up for our free breakfast Time to make hast…
