Hey party People,

Well thats me got my first overnight bus trip under my belt. Not too bad, well apart from the guy playing Asian pop music at full blast and the local girls having a full on barney!! Got some blues which made that all go away but then had to change buses at 2:30am. Not the easiest in my dozzy state!

Spent a day in a place called Nim Bin which was a hole and a half. Took us an hour and half just to find somewhere to have breakfast. Went out to the National park and checked out the 1000 year old free and hiked through the jungle for a bit, went to see some cool caves and then some amazing limestone carst scenary. Spent the whole day clinging to the back of a motorcyclcle. Cool experience, if a little sore on the ass cheeks :)

Stopped in Hue for a couple of hours and managed to check out the citadel, alright but they did have the biggest communistic flag i've ever seen. Have some cool pics and will strat getting them on the site as soon as Ruth leaves as it going to take me a bit of time.

Now down in Hoi An and stayed last night in swanky hotel for $15 a night!! We both needed a little luxary after almost 28 hours of buses. Met a bunch of irish and went out boozing last night. Today plan is to check out some ruins and then get a night bus to Natrang for boozing and kite surfing action :)) Finally be able to get the kite out.

Right off before i bore you all to death.

Later,

C

PS - Happy Birthday to Kaitlyn for last week. She just turned 2 :))
