More Vietnam Smiles

#celebratewithtrip. After not having been able to go to Vietnam the last two years it was time to visit again. Vietnam is fully re-opened and hasva lot to offer from the cooler north with Hanoi and it's lingering French history, mountains where coffee and fruit grows, the beaches on the east where you can relax to the hussle and bussle of Ho Chi Minh that will remain my favorite destination. Meet the warm and friendly people, street culture and enjoy the food from the north with it sausages to the south with street noodles or very tasty and affordable meals. Be amazed with the traffic, especially in the rush hours when scooters fill the streets making crossing the roads tricky. For inland travel, although a train and bus are available, flights are quick and safe. Accomodation is available in all types backpack hostels, local hotels, international chains and apartment hotels like one of my favorite hotels the iconic Intercontinental Hotel Saigon. In the evening stroll around the square and see, or better join, the locals eating and drinking on simple floormats, enjoying life.
