...i'm taking the same route too but not sure if I want to move from Hue to Ha Noi by bus, train or air. Any suggestions?
yeah. quite often. Was there once every month in 07. :sweat:
Heya, you're looking for travel kakis cum assistant photographers? How long do you intend to stay in Hanoi and what is the expected budget per traveller?
try jetstar website for pretty affortable price. it save you tons of time. train can be quite uncomfy for long journey and the price for airfares are probably 20-30 more?
=)
hope this helps
i shld be there around early march, starting from hcmc and travelling by sinh cafe bus all the way up to hanoi and flying back from there.
Will stop at places like dalat, phan thiet, mui ne, hue, hoi an, hanoi, sapa etc. Travel assignment. Anyone wants to catch up with me at any part of the journey, do let me know.
Well I've been on a train for 16 hours from Melbourne to Sydney, it was non-stop so had no chance to stretch my legs. If the train is a much shorter journey or if it has stops along the way, then it would be viable?
And how long will the trip be btw? One week? 4 days? etc?
Oh ya, think I should mention. My main aim is to visit Halong Bay in Vietnam, rent a boat and visit the various islands and caves there. I.e. My intention is as much backpacking and exploring as it is photography?
It's quite expensive to rent a boat on your own...unless u have a big group to share the costs. And more often than not, the weather is not very conducive.
Anyway, u can check the weather when in Hanoi. Also, a lot of folks get conned buying the tour packages frm hotel counters in Hanoi. So be careful.
Thanks for the advice! Strangely I was told to make arrangements w the hotel for tours. Apparently the likelihood of being ripped off is greater if you deal direct w the boat owners. :dunno:
Penang!!!! :sticktong:bsmilie:
