Ramblings of a backpacker.
19/08/18 We're home. Yesterday we flew home from Singapore. The journey was actually fairly enjoyable; we flew with Quatar Airways so it was pretty comfortable and the food was good. Throughout this adventure, I've had very mixed feelings about the time at which it will end. Sometimes, particularly at the beginning, I felt sad that… Continue reading The End
02/06/18 I can't quite believe it's June already. Time is going too quickly. Ho Chi Minh City is a crazy, chaotic and noisy city. Although not the capital, it is the biggest city in Vietnam, and also the most liberal and developed. The great speed at which this city has developed is evident in the… Continue reading Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
31/05/18 We've spend the last two beautiful days in Mui Ne; a tiny little coastal town boasting huge sand dunes. There isn't really much to "do" in Mui Ne other than visit the sand dunes, so we decided to stay at the Mui Ne Hills hotel/hostel complex, complete with 3 swimming pools and a fabulous… Continue reading Mui Ne
25/05/18 What a day. We endured a 4 hour danger-drive from Nha Trang to Da Lat, with a bus driver whose aim, it seemed, was to make as many passengers as possible throw up.

The bus was pretty comfortable, with seat/beds in a bunk bed kind of setup, so we managed to sleep for… Continue reading Nha Trang
15/05/18 I forgot to cancel my subscription to Audible before my free trial ended, so I accidentally payed a month's subscription (before hastily cancelling). Not wanting to waste the credit I'd unknowingly purchased, I used it to but the book "Everything I Never Told You", by Celeste Ng. Unfortunately, I didn't realise the narration was… Continue reading Hoi An
14/05/18 Current location: Rodo Cafe, Hue. Drinking an iced ginger tea, and the complimentary green tea which which most cafes here offer; on this occasion, we've been given popcorn flavoured! Sounds so bizarre but it's delicious. We arrived in Hue on the 11th, only for me to be violently hit yet again by some kind… Continue reading Historical little Hue
