Today is our last day here and tonight we fly to Siem Reap for two nights. If we were to come back to Cambodia we would probably catch a bus or boat to travel around but that’s but hard to know whenRead more
Traveler When in Siem Reap if you have time visit the Children’s Hospital. Another learning experience about the hardships the families face. There is a room where they have a video running explaining it all & a donation box in the foyer where any amount makes a difference, no matter how small.

Arrived last night at Hanoi airport, it’s been great because I have organised transfers so when we arrive tired we get picked up and taken directly to the hotel. Yes it might be more expensive thanRead more
Traveler Hey Mum!! Who did you book transfers with? I haven't organised these yet and I feel it may be expensive, especially when you're tired and just want to get to the hotel! Also, when you say the river was a dump truck, was it just full of rubbish or?
Traveler Hey contact the hotel where you are staying they organise the transfer cost us $17usd to get from Hanoi airport to our hotel but worth it as you don’t get ripped off. I have organised all our transfers with the hotels we are staying at. So easy you walk out and there they are! Yes the river was full of rubbish right in town but the lakes were beautiful
