Am flying into Hanoi from Bangkok with Air Asia and going overland back to Thailand, what am wondering is can i get my Vietnam visa at the airport when i arrive or do i need to get this before fly ??

Kia ora everyone,
Has anyone done the trip inland from Hoi An to Dalat by bike or otherwise? In particular I'm trying to work out whether it is possible to hire a bike in Hoi An/Danang and then drop it off in Dalat.

Any help or experiences you've had wouldbe greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
James

Some of the ferries could only accommodate bikes and passengers, so the van driver would have to meet us after the next island. We certainly got the stares on the ferries, just as we did when pedaling through villages, because we were…
