    North Bay, Canada

    1. juli 2018, Canada ⋅ 29 °C

    We stayed for a few nights, and visited the family gravesite, along with taking the trail to the famous sugar shack. Although the mosquitoes, black flies, and other large insects tried to feast on us, we made it back after fueling up with a can of DEET. (It does not smell good)
    We visited the airport, which reminded us of an old western, with tumbleweeds blowing through as there was not a single soul in the airport. Maybe one security guard. Quiet town, just as we remembered.
    We shouldn’t forget that it was Canada Day, and we spent the evening watching North Bay fireworks (I’ll just say they were quaint, that is all) What was not quaint was the emerging shadflies that we couldn’t wait to see. It was only when they began erupting out of the water like a 70’s horror movie did we have to leave. They still clung to our shirts as we left.    Læs mere

    Montreal, Canada

    6. juli 2018, Canada ⋅ 22 °C

    We took the train from Toronto to Montreal and arrived nearly at midnight. Family picked us up and we stayed up late catching up and tasting a few glasses or bottles (hard to remember which one, it’s hazy) of champagne before sleeping.
    Having spent around five days in Montreal, we enjoyed biking and white water rapids (although the heat was nearly unbearable!) eating out, spending time at markets (Atwater Market was beautiful), checking out McGill University and catching up with some friends.    Læs mere

    A walk through Cologne

    30. juli 2018, Tyskland ⋅ 28 °C

    We arrived by train from Frankfurt Airport to Köln around noon. Having a few hours to wait for our check-in we decided to eat some German foo. . . oh wait, no we had Thai food.  After loitering and ordering extra pop we finally checked in to our hotel, which is only a few minutes from the famous Kölner Dom. We went for a nice walk on the pier, and after watching locals/tourists drink beer, we had one ourselves!Læs mere

    Spending some time in Bangkok

    1. august 2018, Thailand ⋅ 30 °C

    We have arrived in Bangkok! We spent the morning taking the train into the heart of the downtown core. Walking to our hotel in 35-degree weather made for some extra laundry!
    After resting, we walked to MBK (Bangkok’s main shopping center) where we had some dinner, which was spicy, in fact, all the food was spicy! Yum! After having a nice cold coffee, we watched a movie and enjoyed the AC.
    We walked back to the hotel a different way and enjoyed looking at the street vendors. We didn’t get run over by any scooters or Tuk Tuk’s so we call that a win for the day!
    What better way then to celebrate with some cold Chang beer and get ready for it all again tomorrow.    Læs mere

    Old town Hanoi, Vietnam

    5. august 2018, Vietnam ⋅ 26 °C

    We landed in Hanoi for some rest and relax. . . nope, the streets are just as crazy as Bangkok! After passing through security and collecting our bags we took the city bus into the ‘Old Quarters’ of downtown Hanoi. The streets were tiny, and we hadn’t learned how to walk across yet without possibly getting hit every time. After we found out that ‘don’t stop, don’t’ run’ rule we were on our way. (Hesitate = Hit by scooter!)
    We had a lovely stay at our hotel ‘3B Hanoi Hotel’ and we soon began to get climatized to the chaotic streets.
    There were so many highlights! We enjoyed walking around town, we viewed some famous pagodas, and were rained on harder than we ever have before! But most of the time the weather was just humid and hot, and that gave us ample time to trot around the city, drinking ice/hot coffee, eating Vietnamese subs, and having pho!
    We visited the famous railway street (photo below) and took lots of beautiful photos. We also enjoyed seeing the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, walking through the parks, visiting the observation deck with a panoramic view of Hanoi and examining the old French style villas.
    One of our favorite stops was the Hanoi Museum of Ethnology, where we learned about the 54 different ethnic groups that live in Vietnam. The museum was well done, with small-scale and large-scale models built by the tribes themselves.
    After spending a few days in the hectic Hanoi, we decided to take a train into the countryside, and visit Ninh Binh.    Læs mere

    Northern Vietnam county side, Ninh Bình

    9. august 2018, Vietnam

    We took our first train ride to the Vietnamese countryside, a town called Ninh Binh. We stayed at a relaxed home-stay and enjoyed the surrounding town by bicycle.
    While we only stayed a few days, we had a very nice time. We walked up the Mua Caves and saw the dragon at the top of the jagged rocks, overlooking Ninh Binh. We got a little lost on our bicycle looking for a grocery store and ended up having roadside lunch. We found out that when someone brings you into your kitchen and shows you the food they are making, and points to different dishes, you know you are in good hands!
    It was sad to leave, but all good things have to come to an end, I suppose! We have a train to catch to Vinh!    Læs mere

    Short stop in Vinh, Vietnam

    12. august 2018, Vietnam

    We arrived in the city of Vinh and walked through the scorching heat to our hotel. We are not sure how long the wheels on our luggage will last, hopefully a bit longer!
    We quickly found out there weren’t so many things to do as far as tourist attractions. But we did go on a nice walk, and passed by a museum and some historical sites. It seems every new town we go to, we discovers a rooftop! We enjoyed the 33rd floor with views down on the city of Vinh, sipping coffee.
    We also met a local who wanted to practice English, we spent time with him, and he served us some delicious vegetable Pho.
    People in Vinh were very friendly and we ate some delicious Pho again before we took the 8 hour train ride to Hue.    Læs mere

    Exploring the city and palace in Hue

    14. august 2018, Vietnam ⋅ 28 °C

    The first day we walked around our hostel and down to the “perfume river.” The ambiance of Hue was awesome and compared to Vinh, we felt that the city came alive at night.
    The following day, we walked across the bridge towards the “Ancient Imperial City,” which most photos below show. We stayed for a few hours and still couldn’t see everything, we enjoyed the old history, parchments and artwork on display.
    On our last day, we went for coffee on the 16th floor of a hotel, and enjoyed the view of the river.    Læs mere

    Da Nang has beach, city and mountains

    18. august 2018, Vietnam ⋅ 36 °C

    We took a short bus trip from Hue to Da Nang, which was quite different. The seats were organized in a way that you could lay down and sleep.
    We made it to our hostel/hotel (Not quite sure, online it was a hotel, but when we arrived it was a hostel) we checked in and walked to the famous dragon bridge. This was definitely a highlight for us, and as it was Saturday the dragon breathes fire and shoots water out of its mouth. We waited until nighttime, and watched from the top of the hostel roof, unbeknownst to us a huge storm was coming in! Uh-oh! We had to call it a night, and we couldn’t watch the show, not until the next day. And what a show it was! The crowds were out in full force and we watched the dragon show. Because of the winds, the water sprayed on most of the people on the bridge and a lot of them ran away from the show. It was fun being in the crowd and enjoying the experience!
    Da Nang reminded us of Las Vegas with all the lights at nighttime, and the inlet cutting through the town was really beautiful.    Læs mere

    Into the Ba Na Hills

    20. august 2018, Vietnam ⋅ 25 °C

    We haven’t done to many tours, so we decided to go up to Ba Na Hills (Vietnam’s Disneyland/Jurassic Park?) We rode the cable cars to the top, and visited the brand new golden bridge with giant hands, walked around a few pagodas and marveled at the view from the mountains. We may have sat down and had a German style buffet, too. It was easy to forget where in the world we were. It was Disneyland meets Europe. Quite unique and weird!Læs mere

    Beach time in Phú Quốc, Vietnam

    22. august 2018, Vietnam ⋅ 28 °C

    After exploring some hectic cities, we found our way to southern Vietnam. We have arrived in Phu Quoc! It’s finally island time.
    We stayed at a beautiful resort, which was quite secluded. After talking about finally getting some sand and crystal blue water we started getting anxious after only a few days. Maybe we aren’t meant to relax! Just kidding, we figured out the formula. Breakfast + Beach + Lunch + Nap + Pool + Nap + Beach + Dinner = Success!
    Some highlights included, watching the crabs crawl against the shoreline, the tropical rain, swimming in the pool and the ocean, eating western food, (can’t always eat Vietnamese!).
    After spending some time at the resort, we moved closer to town and stayed at a bungalow. It was one of our favorite places so far, minus the night club that played music from the 2000’s with deep base pounding our very soul! But we were prepared, ear plugs to the rescue! We enjoyed the bungalows because they had a wonderful jungle theme, and an outdoor pool that was just outside our room. The staff was amazing and it was nicer to be close to town again.
    On our last day, we watched the sunset at the public beach, and took a stroll through the night market. We had already eaten pizza, so we just had coconut ice cream and rolled ice cream, and then more rolled ice cream.     Læs mere
