Last New Years Eve, we rented a house in Zuoz in Switzerland with a lot of friends. We drove down there end of December, stayed there a couple of days.

Mekong Delta in the south of Vietnam is close to Saigon and you can reach it from Saigon within 2 hours.

After a short flight from Da Nang to Saigon, we arrived in the south of Vietnam. Saigon is absolutely where the heart of southern Vietnam beats – day and night. All the life during day and night is on the street; people sitting, walking, relaxing, talking, redaing, eating and sleeping.

If you ever plan to travel to Vietnam, take at least two days in Hoi An. I have seen a lot of citys in Asia, but Hoi An is one of the nicest towns I have ever seen; it is comparable to Suzhou in China.

We arrived at Da Nang, drove down to Hoi An and – guess – rented a motorbike. So we started to drive around towards My Son, close to Hoi An.

We started around 9 o’clock pm with this train ride in Hanoi. So after a couples of Vietnam beer, we fall asleep and woke u quite late, something around 7-8 o’clock. That was actually the longest sleep we had during that journey 🙂

From Hanoi, Tam Coc is not that far away; that means, you can go there by bus, which means a couple of hours one way. And that means, getting up early again…

After having spent some time in Hanoi, which is not nice but interesting to see, we took a bus to Cat Ba. Travelling to Cat Ba Island means, you have to go to Hai Phong first, take the ferry from there to Cat Ba island and get of the bus where all the other travellers jump off.

Time to leave beautiful and awesome Laos for another amazing country: Vietnam. Late at night, we arrived in Hanoi via plane and took the first hotel we found.

After 7,5 hours in that small Mini Van (it IS a MINI Van) with 19 persons, we finally arrived Luang Prabang. Please enjoy the pics below and I hope for you, that you never ride in a Mini Van with 19 persons…
