Ho Chi Minh City-Hoi An 17/7


This city is awesome. The number of motorbikes on the street is just insane. Its even more insane trying to CROSS the road. It becomes sort of an art form.


We went to the tunnels the Vietnamese soldiers used, they are tiny! One of the entrances was so small. Everyone tested it out. Marissa tried it and managed to get completely stuck trying to come out. Highlight. It was absolutely hilarious. Everyone was in fits of laughter, including her. And while none of the boys tried to help her out, it took 3 tiny Vietnamese men to haul her out, so funny.
I shot an M16..insanely loud! The headphones did nothing.

Got an overnight train to Nha Phang, which was pretty cool. We got off at 5am. Got to hotel. Just had a nap. Marissa is still sleeping. Will check out beach soon.

20/7
Yesterday we went on a boat trip. It was...interesting. The boat was full of people..tourists and locals. 4 people threw up on the journey. It stopped for us to snorkel. There were way too many people so the snorkeling officially sucked ASS. After that the crew provided 'entertainment'. This consisted of a band, terrible drums, out of tune guitar..singing songs from different countries! Was hilarious.
There was then a floating bar in the sea, they threw us rings and we swam over to the guy handing out cups of crappy wine. Was pretty funny.
We got an overnight train to Da Nhang then a bus to Hoi An, got to the hotel at 6am. Couldn't get rooms until 10. We went for breakfast and a walk then waited about until 10. Once in the rooms, we napped.
