Vietnam Holiday

Vietnam. It's certainly a hot travel destination these days. A diverse offering of lush, cool, rugged mountains to the rich agricultural deltas, sandy beaches and beautiful islands. Trekking, relaxing spas, luxury resorts, just being with the people. A popular gourmet travel option with cooking schools and tours a plenty. A rich cultural experience where every region, city and town is different; where the French have left their mark. The bottom line, it's affordable too and that makes it even more attractive when you're an Aussie.

Depending on where you intend to go, you'll need to pack something to keep you cool in the high temperatures and humidity and something to keep you warm and dry if going up into the mountains. Let's explore the wonders and charm of Vietnam.
