The next day we woke up, had some food at the central market and then we moved on to the next stop: Antigua. To get there we needed to walk four bloacks with our backpacks to the bus stop. Just like in Bogota they have a bus system with guarded bus stops. Those busses are considered safe, while other hop-on busses aren’t and are targets of robbers.We jumped on...
After 20+ hours of traveling I finally made it to Guatemala. The flights were fine and fairly on time. I then arrived at Guatemala City airport around 22.00. The airport was pretty much deserted and there were also only about twenty people on my plane. I walked over to customs and found an ATM machine, so I could get some Quetzales, the Guatemalan currency...

Day 22The next morning I woke up early. I grabbed my bag and walked downstairs to get some breakfast. Around 8am a big group of people was waiting to go to Ha Long Bay. We grabbed a taxi and went to the other hostel to join another big group of people who were all going to Ha Long Bay. We were in a big group of about 45 people. We got onto a bus which was waiting...
Day 19After a good nights sleep in my fancy hotel room I woke up nice and fresh. I met up with Lewis, Hannah and Carly downstairs in the hotel for some breakfast. We then decided to book a tour to check out the city. Around Hue are some medieval thombs and pagodas to see. We booked a taxi which drove us around to the highlights of Hue. We went to two thombs, the...
After the 16 hour bus ride, including waiting for 4 hours for the typhoon to wreck most of Hoi An, we finally arrived. Because the whole town was turned upside down, we had a hard time to even find a taxi. Abby, Becky and me decided to wait for a good while to find a taxi,. The mototaxi’s kept saying there weren’t any taxi’s due to the recent...
Day 11I had to get up early again today, as I booked myself onto the “booze cruise” tour. A boat trip to four of the nearby islands of Nha Trang. It turned out to be a great day to do the boat trip, a lot of sun and no rain what so ever. We first headed out to the first island where we stopped for an hour. There we got some snorkeling gear to check out...
After the rain I went to have a little walk through town. Behind the hostel is a backpackers street full of small restaurants and bars. I walked around and ate some typical Vietnamese fresh spring rolls and a fish dish of spicy squid. After the food I went back to the hostel where I met up with Marc, a Canadian guy I met back in Phnom Penh who happened to be in Ho...
After going to the museum we hang around in the hostel bar. That night we decided to go out with a lot of other people in the hostel. The driver of the tuktuk asked us – like they all do – whether we wanted to go to the temples the next morning. We hired him for the full day the next day for 15 dollars. We told him to pick us up the next morning around 8...
