Whether 18 or 80 - this is the best holiday ever!
The Vietnam Express Southbound. O.M.G. There are not enough words for how fulfilling and fun this action packed 10 days were. We walked, hiked, swam, paddled, cycled, motorbiked, bussed, trained, flew, tuk-tuked ... and ate ate ate! It had everything - an exploration of all the wonders of Vietnam, and when combined with a great, diverse compatible group from around the world, and a superb guide, magic truly happened. Our incomparable guide Uoc (aka Lucky) was a combination of super organised mother-hen, enthusiastic historian and hilarious jokester who was attentive and caring and ensured everything ran smoothly. Husband and I are in our 60s and have travelled widely, and this trip was up there with the best. So if you're still fit and curious and able to get about (not too decrepit for Intrepid!), dust off your walking shoes, get the cobwebs off your bicycle and do some practice laps in your neighbourhood, and book this trip. I don't know how Intrepid do it for the price, but it's value for money, and you'll come away no longer equating Vietnam with 'war', but having a new love for a beautiful country, it's people ... and of course, their food. Thank you Intrepid, Uoc, and our wonderful group of fellow travellers.
