Vietnam & Cambodia

20 December 2016 - 9 January 2017

We arrived in Hanoi via Istanbul and Ho Chi Minh City. We spent three days in Hanoi, visiting the main sites plus a river cruise from Tam Coc. After an ovenight cruise in Halong Bay, we flew into Hue, the former capital of Vietnam. From Hue we travelled by car on Highway 1 and Hai Van Pass, arriving in Hoi An by early afternoon. While in Hoi Ann, we took a Vespa tour. We then flew to Nha Trang or a relaxing two day visit. We took another internal flight to the capital Ho Chi Minh City. We celebrated new year's eve on Nguyen Street, together with thousands of locals and tourists. After three full days in the capital, we travelled to Can Tho via Ben Tre, cruising on Mekong River. After an overnight in Can Tho, we travelled to Chau Doc from where we took an early morning boat, crossing into Cambodia and eventually to Phnom Penh. After a short stay in the capital we flew to Siem Reap. We spent the last couple of days visiting Anghor Wat and the surrounding temples and sites. From Siem Reap we flew back home, this time via Bangkok and Istanbul.
