Luxury Vietnam &Cambodia Travel Review:Hanoi, Ha Long Kayaking, Bai Tu Long, Danang, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, Cu Chi, Siem Reap

We did not understand the time it takes to drive from one location to another and felt we would have made minor changes to avoid 4 hour car rides to single destinations. For example,the 4 hour ride to the market in Sapa after traveling overnight on a train could have been changed to the closer market to Sapa the next day even though the closer market would have been slightly less authentic. However, there was plenty of original wares within the markets of Sapa to enjoy. Also the 4 hour car ride back and forth to the Mekong Delta could have been shortened to a closer town (and this was suggested by Hang, but we did not go for it at the time). On the other hand, we should have spent another day with more "free" time in Saigon to explore. We could have also spent one less day in Cambodia at Angkor Wat since our flight did not leave until 11:30pm. Two full days there would have been enough and we spent three. Finally, we thoroughly enjoyed the combination of joining some small "group" day trips as a way of meeting other travelers, instead of just being by ourselves with the private guides. We should have arranged this in Cambodia.
