Nha Trang:-)

Nha Trang has been great! A beach resort town in Vietnam. We have been here for 3 days now and have been staying at a guesthouse with the kindest host we have met so far in South East Asia. She has let us use her kitchen, which has been soooo nice to finally have a kettle for tea and coffee!

Day one in Nha Trang:

We spent the day exploring the town and relaxing on the beach. There are lots of high rise apartment buildings across from the beach and plenty of Palm trees.




Day two in Nha Trang:

We hired a scooter today, with the idea of  heading out to a well known waterfall. We aborted that idea when we weren't sure the bike would make it there..;) Instead, we went to the mud baths. A very cool day!! First, we sat in a bath while mud was poured in around us, it was actually very nice! Then we had to walk through a hydrotherapy shower, which was so high pressure that it was painful!! Finally we soaked in a hot mineral bath before a dip in the swimming pool to cool off.




Day three in Nha Trang:

Today was a highlight of our stay in Nha Trang. We spent the day on the 'Funky Monkey Tour'. We were picked up at 8.30am and headed to the port where we hopped on a boat and visited 4 islands. The staff of the boat were hilarious, they called themselves the 'best boy band in Vietnam' and we were witnesses to some very funny performances (along with them dragging Theo up to perform a HAKA!). They supplied a very delicious feast of Vietnamese food for lunch.










A fabulous day full of laughs.

Love to everyone - especially to Jean on your birthday! And Chonelle who gave birth to her beautiful daughter yesterday:) yay! Xx

Travel updates - Amsterdam

Hello all :-) I have decided that I will start updating you all through  this blog again as it makes it nice and easy and is also a nice recount to look back at. We are currently at Amsterdam airport, our flight leaves at 7.10pm for Barcelona. We have had a lovely time in Amsterdam. We stayed three nights at the Amsterdam Forest Hotel in Amsterveen. About 30 minutes from the city via bus. We thought we got a pretty good deal staying just outside of the city as we were able to see the normal daily lives of the people here as well as the tourist centre in the city. Amsterveen was absolutely beautiful, quiet and serene. With small canals weaving their way through the roads. Everyone rides bikes here. There are bike paths that are especially for them, so the roads are actually very quiet, apart from buses. No one wears helmets either which is funny because there are bikes everywhere with children hanging off them. Parents with younger children even have long bikes with carriages...

Arrived Safely!

We have arrived safely in wet wet London! We had no idea that when we arrived London had just received an entire months worth of rain in ONE night. All the trains were delayed and it was IMPOSSIBLE and quite dangerous trying to fit into them. There were throusands of people pushing and getting stuck in the doors. Proved pretty difficult with our massive packs on our backs! We were thinking 'oh my gosh is this what it's going to be like!' Thank goodness we found out it was due to flooding.  This didn't help that all the commuters needed to be home to vote (I'm sure you've seen the news). Our Airbnb accommodation had emailed us to let us know that he couldn't have us anymore. It took us a long time to find somewhere within our budget, finally found a place for the week! We have been to our appointments with our consultant to sign contracts and get all our information sorted. He has organised our bank appointment to set up accounts too. We are spending this wee...
