Ok well I had written a really long blog for today and just as I was about to press save the computer turned of!! So annoying! But basically to cut it short as I cant write it allll again, we got our second sleeper train last night which was an experience ... rather than having four people in a cabin with a nice soft matress and pillow, we had sĩ with a rock hard slab of wood :/ and as there was three people on top ò each other like triple bunk beds you had no room to even sit up so it was uncomfortable to say the least. Saw some amazing views in the morning though, like a tiny vietnamese lady riding on a humungous water buffalo!

Got á cab from the station to a hostel we pre-booked which is pretty nice and is 5 minutes walk from the beach so we had a lovely beach day. We also went for a stroll into town which sean didnt really want to do because it is too hot to even move and he isnt a great fan off the intense sunshine (unlike me :D)... but we went anyway as he needed to buy a belt. Ended up in a market and managed to get a dolce and gabana one for about 1 pound... However when it came to putting it on he did it wrong, it got stuck, and while already boiling over and frustrated we were both tugging at it trying to get it of which was making him even more annoyed hahaha. In the end we had to go back and get the woman to cut it off and she was telling him off! So funny.

Went out for a pizza as we both needed a break from noodles for the night, it was delicious! Had a stroll around the town but its very untouristy here compared to Nha Trang and the streets are quite dark, plus ALL of the vietnamese men think ít ok to stare at me the whole way down the road while clearly talking about me so we were both feeling a bit uncomfortable and just bought some drink and went back to our hotel.

Had a very bad night sleep as the aircon makes it feel like the north pole (which sean loves) so I kept waking up shivering and turning it off, then Sean wiould wake up too hot and turn it back on! haha. Just had noodles for breakfast which were so so hot my mouth is still on fire!! Going to get a bus to Hoi An today which is supposed to be so nice and a few guys we met in Nha Trang are meeting us tomorrow 😊

ha ha ha hah
This is so funny! How frustrating that the computer turned off -but it doesn't surprise me over there! I love the woman riding on a water buffalo - not what you would see in Wimbledon! Sean is such a muppet with his belt - ha ha ha ha! I am the same with a/c though - I love it cold and we had the same thing in Dubai where Helen would get up and turn it off! All sounds amazing and the beaches look lovely. Sx

Haha!
Hahaha I know! So so funny! Yeah the beaches here are amazing, and suprising really quiet, although I'm sure once we get to Thailand they wont be so quiet! The water buffalo was amazing! There was so ,many of them aswell and she was just in the middle sitting on ones back haha. We are in Hoi An now and I cant describe how pretty and nice it is. There is a river in the center and a japanese bridge and at night there are thousands of lanterns all over the shops and restaraunts lining the river and it looks amazing! We are hiring bicycles today to see a bit more of the town and pop down to the beach so that should be nice! xxx
