Hi,
Having a great time in Vietnam. It's definitely one of the highlights of this trip.
I'm currently in the mountainous north, and it's much cooler than Cambodia or Laos. I've been hiking for the past couple days, enjoying the amazing scenery with mist covered mountains, rice terraces, and beautiful hill-tribe people. I originally planned on hiring a guide, but after talking to other travelers, decided to hike on my own, which let me go at my own pace, and enables me to interact the local hill-tribe people. I did get lost a few times in the maze of trails in the rice paddies, and ending up hiking along the rice paddy dams. You really need good balance or you'll end up getting pretty muddy.
I also hired a motorcycle (with driver this time) and rode over the highest pass in Vietnam to some remote villages. An amazing day with no other westerners in site.
I've finally been able to post a few more photos at

Man, next time I'm definitely going to bring a mini laptop. These internet cafe computers are crap. (256 meg of RAM, and full of viruses). I've already had my Gmail password hacked, and internet banking would be frighteningly dangerous.
Cheers,
Dave
