Ho Chi Minh city (also known as Saigon) is a bustling city in the south of Vietnam. There are so many motorbikes in Vietnam that at any time, you could look down and they appear as ants moving on the roads below you. In fact, there are 37 million scooters and motorbikes in the whole […]
Hoi An for Kids? Definitely !! Hội An has to be one of the most beautiful towns we have ever visited in the world. So far we have visited 67 countries, so we are considered to be world travel experts, so this is a big statement for us to say! Hội An is a UNESCO World […]
Hanoi is considered the hub of Vietnam. So it makes sense to start your visit to Vietnam in Hanoi, or alternatively end it here, using Hanoi as your base. We started our Vietnam travels in Hanoi and then traveled by coach to Sapa. Here we spent three incredible days touring in this region. We returned […]
Halong or Hạ Long Bay has to one of the most breathtakingly beautiful and famous bays in the world, and today our eyes will finally behold it for ourselves. We can see something on TV, a computer, or read about it in a book, but nothing compares to being here in the flesh and experiencing […]
9:00 am rolls around all too quickly, and we are ready to hike again! I have been up since 6:00 a.m. enjoy my quiet time with a coffee in our room overlooking the misty morning Muong Hoa valley. Every muscle in my body seems to be screaming for attention since our vigorous trek through the […]
The first official day of our tour of Vietnam has us both very excited! We’ve already spent a few days in Hanoi and are ready to go exploring. We check into the lovely Viet View Hotel and Spa in the center of Old Hanoi, and we have an elegant and classically decorated room, complete with fresh […]
I’m perched precariously on the back of the motorbike seat as we weave through the thick late afternoon traffic of Hanoi. Donned on my mop of curly hair is a ‘Hello Kitty’ helmet that is reminiscent of a World War II German helmet in shape. I find my wits are sharp as we wiggle around moving […]

We have just spent 10 glorious days in Batu Ferringhi on the island of Penang in Malaysia. ( You can read about our time here.) Once an island only known for its Betel trees (because the Betel tree fruit, the Areca nut, from where the island is ‘legend’ to have first got its name) so we are told […]
We’ve just spent the best part of ten hours on buses coming from Melaka to Penang. Not one bus, but three buses! And not just driving, there seemed to be long waits where we sat for what seemed forever. On a positive note, the buses improved with each swap, with the last bus being executive plush […]
We have just had the most incredible time in Singapore. We have been here writing the Top Ten Things to Do for Kids and finished off with a great stay at the iconic Raffles Hotel. We wake to a rather smoggy day and the air is thick from the fires and burn-off of Indonesian fields. […]
Singapore is amazing and is an ideal location for families. From little toddlers to teenage kids, you’ll find Singapore jam-packed with exciting activities that will keep your kids off their phones and technology, and out of the hotel room exploring this amazing city. We first booked only four nights here in Singapore, but soon found we […]
