Farewell South East Asia

We are now leaving Vietnam and South East Asia and heading to China. We had intended to spend just 2-3 weeks in Vietnam but everywhere we went, we really enjoyed it and ended up staying longer than planned, and now, almost 4 weeks later we must leave as we have to hurry up to South Korea to catch our flight to Australia.

This means we must severely limit our journey through China to just a couple of destinations: Hong Kong and Beijing.

Our original plan to get to Hong Kong was to go overland on the train from Hanoi, but it turned out to be very difficult to get the China visa from Hanoi, so we have decided to fly to Hong Kong instead – we don’t need a visa for Hong Kong and it is apparently (hopefully!) easier to get a China visa there. We are looking forward to flying again after all the busses and trains recently.
