I am so embarrassed. I haven't finished blogging about our trip to Vietnam & Thailand and here I am about to tell you that we have booked our tickets to the USA! This year has gone way too fast. It only felt like yesterday that we left to go to Vietnam and Thailand. I didn't even realise that it was down to the crunch that it was time to book tickets! So here we are, with an awesome deal from Air New Zealand, as much as I would love to fly direct from Sydney...

Hanoi: Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Military Museum, Temple of Literature & Hoa Lo Museum
It started raining early morning but luckily enough the rain stopped when we were about to head out! First stop, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum as it was only open until 11am. Let me just say, the security before heading into the Mausoleum is STRICT! No cameras, no photos, no large backpacks, no drinks, and after seeing what I saw, I can understand why! Top: The only photo you could pretty much take of the Mausoleum Left: A train line in the middle of Hanoi. Amazing! Seeing Ho Chi Minh at the Mausoleum was,...

We made it! Welcome to Hanoi!
After about an hour flight, we made it to Hanoi! I loved it because as soon as we got out from the airport, the weather was about 10 degrees colder! We chose to get an airport transfer from our airport as our hotel advised that there were a lot of taxi scams happening around there. She even provided us with a password with the driver! We found the driver as soon as we got out of the airport. For more info about the taxi scams in Hanoi check out these sites which were...

Goodbye Hoi An, Hello Hanoi!
After a long day bike riding, we decided to stay in, order room service and pack for as we were leaving for Hanoi the next day. Let me just say that the room service at Vin Hung Emerald resort (to see my review click here) was so good and the prices were reasonable too! The Hoi An chicken rice recipe was to die for! I hammered it like crazy (or maybe it was I was starving from all the bike riding I did)! It was so yum! Definitely try it if you're in...

Happy Birthday Queen! Fishing for the Queen's Birthday Long Weekend
I love how we still get to celebrate the Queen's Birthday! With that being said, it was another long weekend for us here in Sydney! Unfortunately the weather recently has been real temperamental, but we were still determined to go out for a fun fishing day! A couple of months ago we stumbled across Taylors Point Wharf located up North in Pittwater. It's a cute wharf, which although can get busy at times, is still a good place to relax and have some fishing fun. It's also nestled between a quiet neighbourhood and...

Hoi An: Heaven & Earth Countryside Tours. A must do!
I initially wanted to go see My Son, a UNESCO listed attraction but decided to stay in Hoi An and do a bike tour. I found it a bit expensive to go out there, even with a tour and we didn't have a lot of time in Hoi An. We decided to do a tour with Heaven & Earth Countryside tours. Check out their website here. The price was reasonable and we chose to do the Afternoon countryside tour which was about 5 hours. To check out my review on TripAdvisor, click here....
