Warmer climate

Text written in: English

Hi all,

I wrote a nice big juicy update a couple of days ago and lost the whole thing, so here's the skinny in brief:
- Had a great time in Hoi An - v. nice to have a hotel with a pool!
- Crappy bus journey to Nha Trang, a beach resort about 500km from Hoi An (warning to other travellers: avoid TM Brothers Cafe).
- Had a great three days in Nha Trang over Tet - two days on the beach and one day diving. Dive was OK - saw some nice sea life, but the Red Sea still rocks.
- Caught (another crappy) bus to Dalat, which is in Central Highlands. It was absolutely SWAMPED with holidaying Vietnamese, but we had a funny day out on a rented motorbike and saw some nice sights.
- Yet another long, hot, sweaty bus journey but we made it to HCMC, which is surprisingly welcoming and much less busy than anticipated. Dalat seemed almost more hectic!!!
- Just sight-seeing and shopping for another day or so, and then we do a 3-day Mekong Delta tour that will end in Phnom Penh (Cambodia).

Well, that's the latest. Hope you're all well and had an enjoyable Valentines Day.

Jennie and Damien
