Hot Summer in Ho-Chi-Minh-City

Our last stop in Vietnam was Ho-Chi-Minh-City. With a population of over 8 million it is the largest and most important city in Vietnam.

Historical Old Town of Hoi An

After our visit to Huế we took a train south to Da Nang, one of Vietnam’s larger but not very attractive cities. As there is not much to do in Da Nang apart from looking at countless luxury beach resorts that had either been built recently or were still under construction, we moved on to […]

One Night Cruise in Halong Bay

Halong Bay is probably one of the most beautiful natural sceneries in Vietnam and is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. In the middle of a bay with usually calm sea, there are literally thousands of limestone rocks emerging vertically from the water. Ilinca and I explored Halong bay with a one night cruise along […]

Cool Winter Climate in Hanoi

Until now we did not have to worry about winter because we were travelling in tropical countries so far. Having landed in Hanoi however, it was the first time that we were confronted with cooler and wetter climate. In winter, Northern Vietnam is often cloudy and there is drizzle every now and then, and temperatures […]

Pha That Luang in Vientiane

In the Heat of Vientiane

When we decided to move on to Vientiane, we did that mainly because it has an international airport which permitted us to continue our travels to Vietnam. And as we were still missing the visa for Vietnam, it was also a good opportunity to organize it while staying in Laos’ capital. The center of Vientiane […]
