My travel diary continues… After Thailand, the second country on my solo backpacking trip was Vietnam. I spent four weeks travelling the exotic land of thousands motorcycles, warm people and nón lá hats, from north to south. Here is my complete Vietnam itinerary!
Clear emerald waters and never ending sceneries of limestone islands, that’s Ha Long Bay. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Unfortunately, also a place becoming so crowded and popular it almost seems impossible to find a decent boat tour. Is it even possible to still enjoy Ha Long Bay without crowds of people, tourist scams and spending a fortune? The answer is yes. Let me tell you how I did it.
