Cat Ba Island to Phong Nha – SOFT SLEEPER train in Vietnam | EP81 HD

It took us 24 hours to get from Cat Ba Island to Phong Nha. We started off with a bus across Cat Ba island, then took a ferry across the small stretch of water that separates Cat Ba from mainland Vietnam, afterwards we hopped on another bus to Hanoi. Once in Hanoi we had to walk 1km across town to the train station, wait several hours and finally board our soft sleeper train to Dong Hoi. We arrived a bit tired and weary, but after refreshing ourselves with breakfast we hired two scooters and set off for the final part of our journey to Phong Nha National Park.---------------------------EP81| Cat Ba Island to Phong Nha | VietnamThis episode features the following music from Epidemic Sound (http://www.epidemicsound.com):Back in the daysCafé mornings------------------------------Please don't forget to like and subscribe!

We’ve been travelling continuously since then, and have been lucky enough to have some amazing experiences and meet some great people. Before our trip we were glued to YouTube, every evening we watched travel vlogs by @karaandnate, @lifeofjord, @lostleblanc @markwiens and @funforlouis, and these content creators inspired us to document our travels on YouTube too. We bought a new camera, and started the steep learning curve of shooting and editing videos, and producing travel vlogs of our epic trip!We have four main passions:- The underwater world – having scuba dived in over 100 spots over the last year, from beautiful coral reefs to amazing ship wrecks, with plenty of fish and of course lots of sharks, we are totally hooked!!!- Fantastic food – we try to seek out amazing local dishes in every country we visit, and particularly like to eat at local street food stands (but so far nothing beats Vietnam, or maybe India, oh and Thailand is pretty good too…!) - Beautiful natural landscapes – from the snow capped mountains of Nepal, to beautiful white sand beaches of the Philippines to stunning rice terraces of Indonesia – we like to seek out these amazing natural landscapes- Local wildlife – we shun the zoo’s and instead concentrate on trying to find local wildlife in it’s natural habitat! So far we’ve been super lucky, Tigers in India, Elephants in Sri Lanka, Orangutans in Malaysia, Whales in Australia and Penguins in New Zealand – to name just a few!Thanks for watching our video – if you enjoyed it please help us to continue travelling by hitting the subscribe button and giving us a comment!Global Swans
