We have had 1 full day & 2 nights in Hue & we have had a great time! We've got lots of school work done & went on a great cyclo-rickshaw tour around the Vietnamese markets. We got a sleeper train for 15 hours & then got a short taxi ride to the hotel.

After two nights in Hue, we got a 4 hour taxi to Hoi An, visiting Marble Mountain and Lang co Beach and went through Danang which is where the Americans first invaded Vietnam. We stayed in Hoi An for 5 days in a nice little villa which had free bicycle rent & a very cute chihuahua! There was an International school next door & Anna went for day & had a great time :).

We found an Australian Deli which had vegemite & a trampoline!
We then got a day train (11 hours) down to Nha Trang where we stayed in the very luxurious Novotel! We all really enjoyed Nha Trang & loved the beach which was just opposite our hotel. We stayed at the novotel for 2 nights & 1 full day with 2 breakfast buffets included. The breakfast was AMAZING! We all agreed that it was the best breakfast we've had for quite some time. It had Asian food, western food, fruit, French baguettes, a toast station, a drink station, a cereal station & much more!

We then got a sleeper bus to Mui Ne which took about 6 hours throug the day. We stayed in a small villa for 2 nights & 1 day where we played in the pool, did school work & went in the warm ocean. Mum really liked the pathway to the beach which had lots of plants & flowers and massive banana trees! Through the pathway was a little stream which went from the front of the villa to the beach, and we had a pooh sticks race!
