Halong Bay didn’t feature in our Vietnam itinerary, because as soon as we started reading up on Ninh Binh the decision was a no brainer! Mountains, lakes, temples…what more could you want? Read on to find out more…
Travel
Wineglass Bay and Hazards Beach loop hike | Freycinet National Park
It is no exaggeration to say that this loop would have to be one of the best day walks you will find anywhere in Australia, if not the world!
While the shorter return walk to Wineglass Bay is a favourite of many locals and tourists alike, if you’ve got the time then in our opinion the extension to include Hazards Beach makes for a much more immersive experience, taking you away from the masses and closer to nature!
One day in Mai Chau | Vietnam
The scenery around the little known Mai Chau was breath taking in its scale and beauty. We saw the odd tourist van pulling into one of the villages, or the occasional cycling tour, but for the most part you’ll hardly see another westerner all day, if at all! The landscape is perfect for both cycling and walking, making it the ideal destination for those that appreciate the sun on their back and the trail under their feet! Take the road less travelled and experience this wonderful part of the world before it too gets consumed by the mighty dollar.
Tu Lan caving, an experience of a lifetime!
Exploring the caverns, rivers and jungles around Vietnam’s Tu Lan cave system with Oxalis may be one of the most expensive activities you’ll do anywhere in Vietnam, but the experience is worth every cent. We went in with high expectations, and we walked out exceeding every single one. This was the tour of a lifetime!
Wine tasting at Wobbly Boot Vineyard
Wobbly Boot Vineyard is one of Tasmania’s youngest vineyards, and the first vintage is always and exciting event! We joined Paul, Lynda and Isaac as part of their ‘Open Weekend’ to taste their wine and enjoy the fantastic property on which the vines have been planted.
Things to Do in One Day in Hue | Vietnam
Hue is a small city with a very rich history. The food in Hue is renowned around the country for its refinement, a legacy of its imperial days, and when you eventually tire of traipsing around tombs and temples there will always be a new ‘quan’ at which to pull up a miniature plastic stool, stretch the legs and try some new flavour combinations!
One Day in Nha Trang | Vietnam
It’s impossible to encompass everything that Nha Trang has to offer in the space of only a single day, yet this walking-tour itinerary does give you a pretty good insight into the neon-shrouded soul of the city. Beaches, markets, temples, art and a whole lot of food…it’s got the lot!
Day 1 – Our Vietnamese odyssey begins!
It’s that time of year again folks! That time when 11 months of hard slog is rewarded with four weeks of travel, food and much awkward frolicking under sun! I’ve […]
A Tasmanian Whisky Tour! | Hobart, Tasmania
Let’s get it out there straight away, I’m not a whisky drinker and neither is Karen! It was also one of the first admissions we made to Brett, our guide for […]
Escaping the rat race at Buttongrass Retreat | Ida Bay, Tasmania
You know what? After the lights have dimmed and the film crew departed, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Energiser Bunny does take a cheeky little power nap every now […]
