We are in Hanoi in mid November and thinking about 3 days in Sapa. Everyone talks about the golden terraces in September, but by November are they just brown stubble fields, or is there still something to see? I know the weather turns cold and foggy up there, which is part of the charm for me, but I do not want to trek for hours just to look at harvested...
I try egg coffee in Hanoi next month and I read so many different opinions. Some people say is the best thing ever, some say is too sweet like a dessert. I like coffee strong, not too much sugar. Where do locals really go for egg coffee? I know Giang is the famous one but I worry is only tourists now. Is there local shops in other districts that are...
On hésite entre le train de nuit pour Sapa et un bus de jour. L'idée de dormir dans le train et d'arriver à Lao Cai au petit matin est séduisante, mais j'ai lu des avis très partagés : certains dorment comme des bébés, d'autres passent une nuit horrible à cause des secousses et du bruit. Ça vaut le coup de prendre une cabine 2 places au lieu de 4 ?...
We have to get from Hue to Da Nang next month and I am torn between the train and a private car over the Hai Van Pass. The car is the classic scenic option, but the train is cheaper and I have heard the coastal section is beautiful too. Has anyone actually done the Hue to Da Nang train and sat on the right side for the sea views? Which...
We will be in Phong Nha for two days in January with our 2 year old, and Paradise Cave is the one I really want to see. I have read about a long wooden walkway inside the cave, which sounds carrier friendly, but I am not sure about the walk to the entrance and the steps. Has anyone done Paradise Cave with a toddler in a carrier? How long is...
We are based in Da Nang for a week with our two kids and we have one free day pencilled in for Hoi An. Problem is the forecast says rain all day, the proper October kind, not a passing shower. Is the old town still worth it in the rain, or will we just be dragging two grumpy kids through puddles? I have heard the lanterns look great in wet...
By the time I reach the south I will have had about two weeks of heat and humidity, and Dalat keeps coming up as the cool mountain escape. I am tempted to slot in 3 days just to breathe properly again. But is Dalat actually worth the detour, or is it one of those places that sounds better than it is? I am not into the kitsch photo spots. I...
We are spending 3 days in Hue next month and I keep reading that bun bo Hue in Hue is a completely different dish from the version I had in Saigon. I want to do this properly. Where do locals actually go for it? I have seen Ba Xuan mentioned a few times, and some old place near the citadel, but I am not sure what is legit and what...
Wir haben nur begrenzt Zeit in Hanoi und überlegen, ob eine Tagestour in die Halong-Bucht reicht. Alle sagen, die Übernachtung auf dem Boot sei das eigentliche Erlebnis, aber das sprengt unseren Zeitplan. Hat jemand die Tagestour gemacht und war zufrieden? Wie viel Zeit verbringt man tatsächlich auf dem Wasser, und fühlt es sich gehetzt an? Oder lieber ganz weglassen, wenn keine Übernachtung drin ist?
We are doing the drive from Hue to Da Nang in mid November and I keep seeing Lang Co mentioned as this beautiful lagoon and beach halfway along. It looks stunning in photos, all calm water and mountains behind. Question is whether it is worth actually stopping, or if it is one of those places that looks better in photos than in person. If we stop, how long do you...

My thoughts on Nha Trang I’m just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here.My thoughts on Nha Trang I'm just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here. 4 weeks in Vietnam. I've loved every bit, except for Nha Trang. It's full of Russians, the signs are often in Russian.I never had a thing about Russians before this, but by golly, I've been bruised by them on the street, as they just push past you, no manners in giving (even a fraction), when pushing...+2
