So today had to do a bit of admin before we fly away to Vietnam tonnniiighhttt, so fricken excittteeedd! Heard such amazing things about Vietnam from friends but also from travellers.

We had to go get US dollars exchanged ready for our visas and entry which didn’t take too long. We then headed to a popular backpackers bar called Utopia.

We also got pete his beer top (collecting a beer top for each country we visit)

Utopia

Utopia is a gorgeous bar and restaurant just along the Mekong rivers edge. Stunning views and good atmosphere for only being lunch time.

I got a cocktail in and pete had a few beers. We shared ‘Loaded fries’ which consisted of fried onions, cheese, bacon and of course the chips. Such a laos dish… hmm ;)

After spending an afternoon chilling along the river watching local kids on the other side dive in the water and play around on motorbikes, we headed hack to our hostel to pack our remaining bits ready for a brand new place!

Flight

Our flight only took an hour and we had already arranged with our hostel transport over to where we were staying in Hanoi. After little less than an hour we finally arrived for our first evening in Hanoi and already unsure about the place.

On the way through I counted only 10 seconds where there was silence from the madness of beeping and then tooting from the thousands of cars and bikes… this place is sure to drive me mad. I thought London was busy but it has nothing on Hanoi.

As we arrived late in the evening we just popped out just down the road to a taco restaurant and ordered in a number of cocktails and tacos to share. Delish!

BEARD WATCH

Thats right folks it’s that time already… BEARD TIMEEEE.

Week 1 & week 2

Hmm not noticeable… maybe we will wait a lil longer next time…

Goodnight! X
