Highlights of Vietnam:
#Motorcycling around the Central Highlands with Easy Rider
#Cu Chi Tunnels tour in Saigon: crawled right to the end of the tunnel and the six exits, shot an AK47 and an M60 machine gun.
#Food and Eating... Cooking class at Morning Glory. Cao Lau in Hoi An. Literally one of the best meals I had, the best Cao Lau was at Mrs Ly's... MMM. Coffee in Delat.
#Shopping and Partying in Saigon
#Eating snake in Hanoi, oh and doing shots of it's bile and blood and eating it's ground up bones on a cracker: despite the after effects...
#Scootering at Phu Quoc Island. Despite a wee accident: whoops!
#Nail Art in Saigon. Recommend!
#Meeting Katie: we love you x
And the lowlights of Vietnam:
#Vietnam Airlines
- worst airline ever, will literally NEVER use them again. My friend
and I bought and paid for our tickets on my friend's Father's credit
card (and paid him back) before we left Australia. We were forced by Vietnam Airlines
to repurchase our five sets of flights because of a bizarre policy
where if you do not show the credit card you cannot board the flight.
They do not state this when you purchase your tickets or on the tickets.
The staff at this airline were inefficient, rude, unsympathetic and
unwilling to help with this issue.
