As someone mentioned before Nha Trang is great-awesome beach, with water park and masseuse, nice bar too. I went para-sailing i think they call it off the back of a boat. FUN

I started at Ho Chi Minh City and got extremely ripped off on my first day when i bought some clothes because I didn’t know how to barder-YET! you’ll pick it up fairly quickly but if you go really low and act like you don’t want the goods, they soon give in

I mainly travelled throughout south Vietnam, Da Lat I think it was in the mountains, beautiful scenery and secluded, less-touristy place-you defiantly feel away from home-really nice. Took a bus up there, few hours trip but very interesting.

On the last night in Ho Chi Minh city went to a great tourist bar-cant remember the name, good atmosphere, people from Australia, USA, Europe, Scotland etc had a really fun night and good priced drinks.

I would suggest not taking a motorbike as a way to get around, crazy street and really dangerous. When we were in Ho Chi Minh city we took a cyclo everywhere (like a bike with driver)

We also went to monkey island in halong bay-took a short boat trip there, wild monkeys running around. I think it was the same island but there was a small shop where they sold this coconut candy - GREAT STUFF

All that isn’t the half of it. We spent 3-4 weeks there and that seemed like forever but seen so many great places.

You’ll have a great time. This was the best holiday ever and I’m going back for sure. ENJOY YOUR TRIP
