Wokat och klart

Nu har vi tillbringat 3 veckor i Viet nam. Nagon dag i Hanoi, nagra dagar pa Halong Bay och Cat Ba iland, en kulturell och intensvi dag i Hue, en vecka i Hoi An (FAVORIT!!), 6 dagar i Nha Trang, nagra dagar i Dalat, nagra dagar i Mui Ne och nu avslutar vi i den underbara staden Ho chi minh city ( som vi inte alls kan uttala). Det ar kanske inte sa konstigt att vi, nagra natter i rad nu har vackt varansdra genom att forvirrat fraga "Men gud var ar vi?". 

Fast trots att vi hallt en ganska bra tempo, iaf nu senaste veckan sa har det varit sjuukt vart det! Med hjalp av att vi har haft open busticket sa har det varit lojligt latt, och relativt billigt, att ta sig mellan stader. Det kanns anda sorligt att lamna detta harliga (trots otrevliga befolkning) land i overmorgon for att bege oss till Cambodja. Vi tror att det kanns sorligt oxa pga att detta ar det land vi skulle och har tillbringat mest tid i. Och tiden har flygit fram!!

Denna dryga 6 miljonerstad ar den perfekta avslutningen, trots brist pa hav! Antligen ar vi tillbaka pa de roda plast pallarna pa gatan ( den basta streetfooden), livlig barer ( dar det hanger bade turister OCH lokala) och museum.
Imorgon ska vi ga pa det efterlangtade War museum och det ska inhandlas diverse propaganda affischer.

tjolavip!

Just det. Till PAPPA MAX

Tepasen du syftar pa ar i sjalva verket en liten fagelbur med en liten fagel i. Och flickan pa bilden
ar inte Matilda utan mitt kara resesallskap Julia. Det ar illa nog nar alla vi traffar tycker att vi ser likadana ut, nar ens kompisar komenterar det pa facebook men nu aven en av vara foraldrar! Ojojoj.. I morgon ar det jag som fargar haret svart!

Ojojoj. Tank att vi skulle vara sa lyckosama att vi fick uppleva denna by, karlekens ljuvliga plats. Det ar HAR, mina kara vanner ni kommer hitta er livs karlek. Detta sa var gudie till oss, ytterst seriost. Glada i hoven traskade vi alltsa in i denna romansens dal. Ehrm. Tja. Inte riktigt vad som hande. Men missforsta mig ratt, vi uppskattade absolut de hjartformade trabankarna, de blomsterkladda "karleksbunglowsen", chansen att kla ut sig till "karleksindian", de romatiska svanformade paddelbatarna och allt annat som sjalvklart tillhor karlekens paradis. Denna park ( tank er en mindre version av Kvarnparken eller Vita bergen) ar fullproppat med detta underbara och sjalvklart en "resturang" dar den mest sensuella mat kan inhandlas under skylten " FAST FOOD". Vi forsokte se vara framtida sjalsfrander i allt fran de (o)trevliga vakterna till de redan upptagna turisterna. Men tyvarr, karlekens naste gjorde det inte riktigt for oss.

Men vi vill, enhalligt med var kara gudie, rekomendera alla nykara, nygifta, nytanda eller bara karlekstrotta par att aka till denna by. Skit i vackra strander pa Hawai, snotoppar i alperna eller allt annat ni forestaller er som paradiset, this is the place....!


Btw, nu e vi tillbaka i havets makt. Bergsstaden Da Lat var underbart men havets brus lockade. Och imorgon ska vi ut och leka i vita och roda sandoknar..

and more to come..

Sorry for not being such a good blogger at the moment. The beaches here kind of took us away from the 
civilisation for a time. But now we are back! or well, we are still addicted to the beach and the ocean.. of course..

Anyway, what happen the last couple of days (weeks?). We arrived in Vietnam eh.. two weeks ago? After an horrible night on the train from the Chinese border we arrived in Hanoi at 4 a clock in the morning, got picked up by a "hotelguy", and we were so proud that we didnt went in his black scary car and grabed a taxi instead, and went to sleep in the most comfortable beds ever! The days in Hanoi, which we really liked, we spent on musuems and eating at street stalls and drinking the local beer.

Halong Bay was reeeeally beautiful! amazing nature and ofcourse the ocean!! But... It was freeking cold there ( not comparing to china but still..) and the sawedish girls were dying for some hot weather so we just spent a couple of days there.

Hoi an was the next place and we can just say this, after Vang Vieng this was awsome! Perhaps not if you want to see the "real Vietnam" but we just needed a break from all the experienses so it was perfect. Hoi an is actually on the UNESCOs worlds heritage list (as all the places we visit!) and we realise now, after leaving it that it was beautiful.  We spent almost a week in Hoi an, meeting a lot of new people, mostly englishmen and some irish. Trying to not hang out with to many swedish fellows.

After a week on the beach we are now in Nha Trang, making our way down south. We are traveling with a guy from England, the same one who took the "easterpicture" of us. He is a good laught, very differnet from us which makes it even more fun. Renting dwarfs? Riding a fake horse? Whissel? Stucked in a rollercoster? Yes sir. We are sharing the most beautiful room, with AC and a nice balcony. 
Today we spent a lot of hours out on a island, a very very special island. The most weird place ever. It is the "island of fun". Indoorgames, rollercoster and more, waterpark and underwaterpark. You can just imagine how happy Julia was!! I on the other hand was the parent walking around with all the cloths and bags ect.. BUT, I enjoyed the aquarium a lot! And ofcourse, the worlds longest (over sea) cable car which took you from the mainland to the island. I most say that our culture afternoon the other day was a bit more giving. But it was totally worth the money  just to see Julia being so happy!! ( I ean otherwise she is just soo sad on this trip....)

We havent found any place in this country where you can upload pics so you just have to hold on!

The plan is now to stay here a couple o days, then do Da Lat which is up in the mountains, then Mui ne by the cost and finish up in Saigon..

puss!!

GLAD PASK.

Two swedish girls are standing on the beautiful beach in Hoi An. Finally they got to see the ocean!!! Freeeking happy!
The same morning the both of them realise which day it was. EASTER! So of course they had to do someting to celebrate this. Insted of start looking for eggs which they could paint ( also an sawedish tradition) they decided to dress up like......... easterbitches! ( paskkarringar) After asking a stranger on the beach ( who turned out to be a really fun dude from England, remined us about our beloved "grandma") to take a photo of  the them. He was laughing a lot, and so did they. A pretty strange "eastereve"!

efter en 6-timmars lang resa pa vagar som knappast kan kallas vagar, borttappande mitt ute i ingenstans p.g.a dimma (panik, julia, matilda? nej nej, ni kanner val oss, lugna och tysta i alla situationer) ar vi nu antligen framme i vietnam. vi traskade over gransen som vi aldrig gjort annat (borjar kanna oss som vana backpackers nu, finally!) visade lite noncharlant upp passen (men hittar ni inte visumet? det ar ju MELLAN kina och laos!) och gick sedan och kopte tagbiljetter till hanoi. (okej har kan jag erkanna att det uppkom vissa problem, allt vi hort om att man ska akta sig for att bli lurad i vietnam stammer!)

vi befinner oss i en gransstad, lao cai, och aker alltsa vidare till hanoi om ca 1 timme!

en snabbis om kina: soluppgangen over ricefields terrance var det vackraste vi sett i vara 20 & 19-ariga liv. det ar INTE ofta julia kjallquist och matilda strandberg grater over naturens under, men ni skulle varit med klockan 06.13 i yuanyang, det var grejer det!

nu ska vi leta efter ett ordentligt stalle att dricka kaffe pa, kan behovas da vi inte lyckades fa sovplatser pa taget, 12 timmar pa en trabank  - kan bli kul!

massa karlek till er alla fran era alskade backpackers
