Crossing the street in Hanoi can be a daunting experience. The cities reputation for traffic is not a myth and the pedestrian must quickly learn to to weave in between motorbikes and cars just to get to the other side.In this video, Bekki shows us how it is done!

Nothing beats a cold beer after a hard day of travel. Hanoi's speciality is a sort of home brew which costs about 25 cents US per glass and goes down well with some of the local snacks (we hope it was not dog meat...). The old quarter of Hanoi offers dozens of street side pubs where locals and tourists alike go to enjoy some of the local brew, in a relaxed among the frenzy of hectic Hanoi.

The Kha Bang National Park in central Vietnam, just north of the 17th parallel and close to the Laos boarder is host to some of the world's most impressive Caves. Two of the world's largest caves are found here, Paradise Cave stretching some 6 km into a mountain side with galleries large enough to host a Manhattan city block, and Dong Song, discovered only a few years ago and is today considered the world's largest.
But big caves are not the only attraction. For us, the much smaller Dark Cave was by far our speliologic highlight.Caves are supposed to be dark, although we often visit them with blarring florescent lights and head lamps. This cave however is meant to be viewed in the dark!
This video shows our forray into the mud tunnel, but other highlights included swimming through the underground lake in pitch black.

There is no better way to visit the Mekong Delta than on motorcycle. Our friend Kolja and Manu had driven their bike down from Hanoi, so we joined them for a short trip through the Mekong Delta, avoiding many of the touristic areas and really getting a feel for how this region works.
Here is a selection of two videos and 20 photos from the Delta.
