Saigon not overly impressed, although good to see the historical side and all the scooters. Didn't do Halong but will do one day. I want to do Nha Trang and Hue, but not before I go back to Krabi (The sea is warmer than the water I get left to shower with in the morning)

    People we met raved about Bali, so that maybe a maybe !

    Da Lat, Vietnam. Absolutely stunning place.
    The waterfalls were the most stunning thing I have ever seen.
    We only got to spend two nights there in January.
    It's a 40 minute flight from Saigon and an hell of a lot cooler than Saigon. The temperature was around 22C compared to 32C in Saigon.
    On the subject of Thailand it's a beautiful country. Been there 3 times in the past 3 years and loved every minute of it.

    Any places to rival it ? (apart from the obvious Grangetown, Barry, Newport etc)
    I've been to some nice places, but i'm most happy sitting on Charles Bridge in Prague watching the street (bridge musicians) in the sun.

    Vietnam is a great country to explore isn't it. I did it South to North and I also preferred Hanoi to Saigon, albeit it was a bit of a shock as it was considerably colder after an overnight bus from Hue.

    Another place I really enjoyed is Luang Prabang in Laos, lovely town to visit and a two or three day boat up the Mekong to the Thai border is a great experience. Plus I was there during Songkran so it was a bit nuts.

    The Balkans are spectacular, driven from Dubrovnik to Kotor several times, the drive round the inlet is rather good. Better still is the drive around Lake Skadar in Monenegro and Albania. And the spectacular drive up the coast north from Dubrovnik.

    Ha Giang, northern Vietnam

    Alternatively, sunset from the old french cannon fort on Cat Ba, in Lan Ha Bay is one of the best sunsets ive ever seen.

    Or sunrise from Mount. Kinabulu

    I've been planning to visit Dubrovnik for a while but not sure whether to take the kids or just me and er indoors. What's it like for young kids?

    not much in Dubrovnik for kids.

    nice a few miles down the coast for a beach based holiday but Dubrovnik itself is a picturesque walled City with plenty of bars, shops and alleyways.

    you tend to visit the city for a day or two, maybe on a boat trip from your resort (which is what we did). Beautiful place.

    i'll dig out some pics

    Sounds like a good plan

    Travelled a fair bit but think the 'country' i've settled in, Catalunya does it for me. Costa Brava, Pirineus, Ebre. After that either The Gower and west wales coast as mentioned or Gwynedd (Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia National Park). Nothing like home

    Great Wall of China for me too. There is nothing that prepares you for the sheer size of it and seeing a wall of that size disappearing over the horizon in both directions. Literally jaw dropping.

    As stated by a few others, the geological wonders of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah are mind-blowing.

    Has the centre of Kotor been rebuilt? It was cordoned off for many years after an earthquake in 1979.
    I got a terrific ear infection from swimming in the bay.
