This vibrant city has tons of attractions to explore. More than a good few hours of research went into this itinerary. We got a taxi to our hotel from the airport.

The backpacker district of Ho Chi Minh City at the intersection of Pham Ngu Lao and De Tham streets was where we were staying. We pre-booked this with the hotel above at 220,000 dong each (£6.44). It absolutely chucked it down - fun to watch from the safety of our restaurant.

We arrived in Nha Trang at 5:30am and decided to walk to Sun City Hotel where we were staying. One hour later and I was able to continue the journey, just. We spent just over an hour there, it was so, so hot.

After lunch we decided we'd go walking in the blistering heat once more. Eventually we did but were too hot to face the stalls so grabbed a beer and sat and watched the goings on for an hour or so. We popped into the mall there with the aim of getting some cheap earphones: so expensive!

We were up early to get our 8:30am bus for the Funky Monkey Snorkelling Tour we'd booked at the front desk at 300,000 dong per person (£9). We had a delicious lunch and sang some karaoke. We were both tired and hungry and just couldn't find anywhere decent to eat.

We wanted something more authentic and ended up at a BBQ grill place where they cook the food in front of you. We went to the Why Not? The PR girl ended up whacking my boyfriend one in the arm and accusing him of pinching her bum.

We went home to dream about owning a boat and riding the ocean waves, not being falsely accused and assaulted in a skanky bar in Nha Trang. I salivate when I think about it now. Anyway, moving on, this post is getting wordy.

We arrived in Danang at about 6am and got a taxi to Hoi An. It cost 800,000 dong/£25 and seemed to take ages, or a little over an hour. I'd recommend you try somewhere nearer the centre of town though, go for a spot down by the river. We walked by all the tailor shops, a little intimidated, and went for a coffee along the river.
