Dear Vietnam,

Your web-filter bill is overdue…

The dates on all the entries since the 16th February are completely messed up but it covers where we’ve been from there to now. Anyway, back in business now and feeling much better.

We made our way from Nha Trang to Dalat which I fell in love with instantly. Imagine travelling for a few hours up a winding mountain road to find yourself in the middle of an enormous bowl-shaped, tiered level town that’s a cross between The Prisoner and Blackpool in high season.

It’s fashioned from utter nonsense and we haven’t even done a day trip yet – apparently the countryside is full of kitsch weirdness, photo-opportunities with Vietnamese cowboys, a village with a stone chicken the height of ten men in the middle of it, and more crapness than even a crap-fanatic like me could even dream of.We’re taking a day trip with the Easy Riders tomorrow – they’re a band of Vietnamese motorcylists who offer tours round the country that are a bit more off the tourist trail and I CAN’T WAIT!
