Calypso Cruises - Vietnam 2024 Lan Ha Bay
A deep dive into what it's like on a 2 night, 3 day cruise aboard Calypso Cruises II at Vietnam's fabled Lan Ha Bay, right next to Ha Long Bay. From wharf to boat to kayak to beach to cave to kayak to swim to cave to wharf!
Our family from Australia found a travel agent in Hanoi (Little Vietnam Tours - highly recommended), who booked the cruise, all transfers and our hotels. We'd also booked an Oxalis adventure cave tour near Phong Nha separately. Everything went perfectly to plan and we absolutely loved Vietnam.

Riding bikes around south-east Asia is a must do for any intrepid tourist, but they all duck. Why? It's simple - even for a race that is shorter than most, the seat posts are just waaaay too short.

Vietnamese Electrical Power Travel Adapters
Переглядів 391Місяць тому
Which electrical travel adapters work in Vietnam? Both European round pin 'Type C' and US flat pin 'Type A' power adapters work. All power points feature a safety plate to stop accidental intrusion of metal objects to prevent electrocution, but you have to push your adapter in past the safety plate, which is inconsistent (some were hard, some were very easy). Tested in Saigon, Da Nang, Hoi An a...

Upgrading from a 2012 Giant Anthem to a Norco Sight C2 - Worth the money?
Переглядів 703 місяці тому
In 2012 I decided to enter the wonderful world of mountain biking. A good mate suggested I buy an Giant Anthem 29er - so I did. 7500 km later and I still love that bike. However, trails have become more aggressive and bikes far more capable. So a few months ago I decided it was time to upgrade. I borrowed (the same mates) Scott Genius 920 Carbon, but ended up buying a tricked up 2021 Norco Sigh...
