First experience of being driven by a vietnamese man on a moped. I got the fast moped with the risky driver, nick got the slow moped with an older more cautious gentleman. This was the best way to visit the tombs, pagoda and Hai Phong mountain pass all in one day. Having said this, there is a certain art to staying at an appropriate distance from your driver whilst he zig zags around trucks, goes over massive bumps in the road, whilst all you have to hang on to is the grip behind you that your practically sitting on.
First night train of the trip from Hue to Nha Trang. Went well apart from the ominous sick/food gue that we found on arrival on nicks allocated bunk (we flipped the mattress). Nha Trang turned out to be a very popular holiday destination for Russian tourists: unexpected. The national oceanographic museum was our main activity here. This was fairly good with a large collection of species and information some aspects of conservation, however this did somewhat conflict with the row of shops outside selling jars of seahorses and other marine life.
