Hoi An
Recommended in a previous post, Zero Seamile has taken a serious U-turn after their impressive opening and is best avoided.
However, a stunning rooftop bar at Phuoc An Hotel, is well worth the visit. Half way between the beach and the town, lying close to the river, the bar offers panoramic views across the countryside, villages and sea.
Click on the image for a full 180' panaroma view over the town.
Hamburger Hill
Home of the notorious battle in 1969, Laos tribes moved to this desolate area in 1975. Now they have thriving communities which have expanded to include tour guides for exploring the hill.
Khe Sanh
20km from the Laos border, the home of a former US Marine outpost and ordnance graveyard, Khe Sanh is a tad odd.
DMZ
A demilitarized zone (DMZ) is an area, usually the frontier or boundary between two or more military powers (or alliances), where military activity is not permitted.
The DMZ, 5km either side of the Ben Hai River experienced some of the bloodiest fighting of the American-Vietnamese war.
Dong Hoi
500km or about 9 uncomfortable train hours South of Hanoi is Dong Hoi. Lying on the Nhat Le estuary it has the best of sandy beach bars and a riverside seafood restaurants.

Summer
Dai Lai Lake, a city escape at the foot of Tam Dao Mountains.
The fields are dry, the roads dusty and the nights clear.

UNIS
Swimming event at Hanoi's premier international education centre.
School must be the only place in Vietnam where you can't smoke. Had to go behind the bike shed.
