Travel Virus

It has been 11 days already that I’m around Vietnam, and tomorrow I’m traveling to Cambodia!
I had good time in Vietnam although it’s not the most exciting country in the world. It’s relatively safe and cheap (when you are not ripped off), has some decent beaches and historical sites.

I particularly enjoyed visiting the Mekong river, it’s so huge and all brown, quite impressive! We took a lovely boat ride in the small canals with the incredible vegetation of palm trees, coconuts, mangroves, jackfruits… very peaceful and wild! I wish I had more time there!

Hoi An was good for tailor made cloths and Hue is nice for the historical sites, where you have a forbidden city bigger than the one in Beijing!!

I didn’t particularly like the north, and I wouldn’t recommend Hanoi and Ha Long bay, just tooooooo touristic, thousand and thousand of tourists all doing the same things at the same time!
