Our trip to Vietnam is over and I’m glad that we went. It’s probably good to see how other people and cultures live, eat, sleep, play and work. I didn’t see quite all I wanted however some things just didn’t go in our favour what with tummy troubles and a bit of malaise. Sometimes, if you go just one more street or one more mile you might just see something you would not imagine. You might get into a bit of trouble too.
Recommendations:
Best time to go - Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An, Hue - December. Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa - April. We missed out on Sapa due to tummy toubles and a lack of positive planning.
Airline - Vietnam Airlines for good seating, excellent service and reasonably low cost.
Hotels - HCMC - Liberty 6 Hotel - good location, good rooms, excellent service and reasonable cost.
Hoi An - Vinh Hung Resort - excellent service, meals, quiet location about 500m (a pleasant stroll) from the old town.
Hanoi - not part of our experience.
