BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

by galy - last update: Jul 7, 2006

North to South

Tet in Hanoi
We arrived at Hanoi, and spent a couple of days there, then to Halong Bay, for a boat tour. Back to Hanoi, took the night train to Sapa. Spent most of the Tet holiday trekking the hills around Sapa and Bac-Ha, spending the holiday with the various tribes. Back to Hanoi in the night train, and flew over to Hue. A couple of days in Hue, and by car to Hoi-Anh, stopping on the way in the Marble mountain. Hoi-Anh is a most charming town. By car to Dannang, visit to the Cham museum and flew to Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City. by car to My Tho in the delta of the Mekong, for a boat and car ride, around the delta for 2 days. Back to Saigon for a city tour by cyclo, and north to the CuChi tunnels. Last day a well deserved very enjoyable foot massage, and to the airport. bye bye Vietnam, hope to be back.
The tour itinerary, was built up with Mr. Tuan Anh from the Vietnam Tour Guide Association.
You can find more information on places we visited in: HANOI ,LAO CAI ,HUE , HOI AN , CAN THO , HO CHI MINH CITY , and last but not least, my favorite - SAPA .
