alana goes away

I'm in the top 'bunk' which is more like a thin dentists chair, if my ass was any bigger I would have been fecked. I buckle myself in as theres a lady sleeping in the aisle, but I still managed to drop my ipod on her twice, and then my eye cover sleeper thing, then drop my sandals on the guy sitting on the seat infront. Woops. I manage to get some sleep tho, but the horn is going every 17 minutes and sounds like it's inside the bus, so it's kinda difficult. But it gets us to Hoi An, and thats just excellent.

Righto so back from the boat trip. Boo. We don't really get up to much, just go for a wander around the place, it's weird cos there's so many people everywhere and shops galore, but it's surprisingly hard to find food. There's places everywhere, all over the footpath, but they're all so packed and there's no real indication of whos running  the show/cooking on the pot of coals in the corner...Anyway, the next day Mash beez a good tourist and goes on yet another tour, to the Perfume Pagoda, and me and Claire decide to stay in town instead. We went and got massages and pedicures hahahaha. The first time I've ever had a pedicure, I felt sorry for the poor lass, my feet were looking horrible. Too much walking and trekking and I could just never play with peoples feet all day. But they looked awesome after. Pity they already look average again from all the walking since hah. Ah well. I think if I was crazy rich I'd hire a masseuse to follow me roun...

Sam made it!!!!!!!  YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Hey buddy, here are some of the boats that look like Pirate ships a bit, but with no cannon balls sorry, and also some monkeys and an owl. See ya!! XXX

I currently do not own a single pair of shoes or boots. 2 kinds of sandal, but 0 shoes. Hoi An here I come.

Photo-dump below peeps, and there's about to be a misc photo above this hopefully...X

Dragon Cruise. Well well well. We start off getting picked up, and as we hesitate at the curb our guy tells us in Hanoi, you just step out, if you hesitate you'll be there forever. After we pick everyone else up, we're on a 4 hour drive to Ha Long bay. A little boat takes us to the Dragon Cruise junk boat, and we get our room keys and take our things down. Me and Claire are in one room and Mash gets his own this time, and it's huge, the biggest on the boat. Jealousy until we feel how solid the beds are. Our little singles are like clouds compared to his. Oh well. Lunch time, and they start bringing out food, and don't stop bringing for a solid 30 minutes, there is SO MUCH to eat. And all of it is delicious of course. I ate a clam. First time. Yum. Some of the best spring roll things I've tasted. After feast #1 it's time for the 'Surprising Cave'. Another little boat takes us over to the entrance, and stairs stairs stairs, and we...
