Same here, normally pretty good stream, today a few still images prior to kick off, but now nothing at all except a time out error

Ok then...The Annual Trainers Thread

I think some of the best trainers in recent years have been Gary Aspen's Adidas Spezials collections, combining terrace casual inspirations with other things like the rave scene.
The Lacombes are just class, with a 70s tennis shoe look

and just picked up the Padihams which are a bit like the Bermudas

Yep MrSheen! There's a few Vietnamese following us now too, though not thanks to anything I've done! You might be familiar with the QPR FC in Vietnam Facebook page, which is run by a local and is often first with the match videos!

In terms of visas LoftusR, UK passport holders are exempt from visas currently if you are in Vietnam for less than 15 days (they're likely to extend the duration of stay and application of the free visa). See below.

'Until 30 June 2018 ‘British Citizen’ passport holders travelling for tourism or business can enter Vietnam for up to a maximum of 15 days (inclusive of dates of entry and exit) without a visa.'

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/vietnam/entry-requirements

The overriding impression I'm getting from the Vietnamese media is that UK passport holders will continue to be exempt even after June 30 2018 but the government just haven't got around to renewing the policy, so hold off on buying a visa. Worst comes to the worst you can arrange visas on arrival and it isn't expensive

Pretty much the same review as everyone else, albeit I went in 1997 and 2004.
Vinales in the west with huge limestone outcrops and jungle, home to Cuba's tobacco-growing is well worth a visit, as is Trinidad, and the beach at Varadero is amazing.
Found Havana a bit hard work due to touts, but the architecture and historical sites and museums make it ok for a few days.

Hi LoftusR,

I've been living in Hanoi for 13 years, so if you've got any question feel free to drop me a PM.

I'd say your initial itinerary of Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang and finishing in HCM City is sound, but there are a few other options you might want to consider.

You could do the more adventurous motorbike tours up to Dien Bien Phu or the incredible stone landscapes of Ha Giang in the far north, or take a north-south drive down the Ho Chi Minh Highway along the Central Highlands, perhaps eventually driving down via Dalat to Nha Trang for the beach.

Tam Coc/Ninh Binh is well worth a visit, it's basically where Kong was filmed, plus there are amazing caves to explore in Quang Binh.

Feel free to get in touch, I'm happy to answer any questions

Opps, edit for just noticing you're bringing 3 kids along! So maybe scratch the idea about motorbiking! Drop me a line anyway with any questions you have.

I signed up for it John, I've been really impressed with the quality to be honest.

I know Tony Incenzo isn't everyone's cup of tea, but generally, the commentary has been ok.

The feed has been crystal clear and I won't have to resort to watching postage stamp-sized laggy streams anymore on websites so virus-laden that they leave my skin crawling, so that's good.

Given Vietnam's internet speeds I've been very impressed. Definitely worth it.
