寧平到洞海

卧铺火车还不错。火车只晚点了几分钟。不过火车上有活蟑螂，让人很不舒服。

Sleeper train was fine. Train was only a few minutes late. Live cockroaches on the train though which was jarring.

将这次全会作为一次两天的旅行是没有意义的。我基本上参加了两个不同的一日游。第一个旅行团在下午 4 点结束，然后他们把你送到宾馆，却不推荐你去做什么。第二天的行程本应在 11 点开始，但我一直坐着等接机，直到下午 1 点，我们又在下午 4 点左右结束了行程。这是一个非常旅游化的旅行团。导游的话很难听懂（不过越南的大多数旅游团都是这样......）。通过 Whatsapp 进行的沟通还不错。我建议大家多花几块钱参加在国家公园露营的探险之旅。

It doesn't make any sense to offer this intenary as a two day trip. I essentially attended two different one-day tours. The first one ends at 4pm, then they drop you at the guesthouse without any recommendations about what to do. The second day the tour was supposed to start at 11, but I was sitting around waiting for the pickup unil 1pm and we finished again around 4pm. It's an very touristy tour. The guides were hard to understand (but that holds true for most tours in Vietnam...). The communication over whatsapp was good. I recommend spending a few dollars more to do an adventure tour with camping in the national park.

不要为了舒适而做，而是为了体验。火车本身并不太舒适，可以睡觉，但设施都很好，一切都很准时。这是很好的体验，但不要指望能睡个好觉。

Don't do it for the comfort but for the experience. The train itself isn't too comfortable to sleep ok but facilities are all fine and everything ran on time. Quite the experience but don'r expect a great night of sleep!

这是一次愉快的经历。床很干净，对于这种床来说足够柔软，而且没有来自厕所的异味。如果你的邻居不是那么讨人喜欢，有一个帘子可以让你有更多的隐私。

it was a pleasant experience. the bed was clean, soft enough for this kind of bed and no bad smells from the toilet. a curtain for more privacy would be good if your neighbors are not that pleasant.

火车还不错。它完全准时到达，这很好，但不幸的是，我们的车厢是唯一没有空调的车厢，所以到东海的旅程非常漫长、炎热。我们晚到了15分钟左右，考虑到所有的事情，这还算可以。床铺还算舒适，舱内很干净，景色也相当迷人。厕所很不干净，但我们还是可以接受的。总的来说，这和我们的预期差不多。

The train was OK. It arrived perfectly on time which was great, but sadly our carriage was the only one where the air conditioning wasn't working, so it was a very long, hot journey to Dong Hoi. We arrived around 15 minutes late, which was OK, all things considered. The beds were reasonably comfortable, the cabin was clean and the views were pretty amazing. The toilets are very unclean, but again, we could deal with it. Overall it was about what we expected.

我们在网上预订了一间私人（2 人）小屋。我们在网上预订了一间私人木屋（2 人），当时可以预订，并进行了付款等操作，但一天后却听说这间木屋实际上没有了。我们已经付了很多钱。然后联络中心告诉我们，我们可以为两个人预订一个 4 人舱房，但需要额外支付 +/-50 欧元（嗯，不好意思！？我们需要为你们的错误支付额外费用？而且还不是小数目......）。我们决定不这么做，而是和另外两个人合租。我们从宁平出发，但车票上的出发时间却是河内，所以这也是不对的。当晚我们进入车厢时，发现厕所很恶心，工作人员还在车厢内吸烟。车厢还不错--很干净，也很新。还有两个床位被预订了，但还没有人睡。过了一会儿，乘务员/列车长过来检查我们的车票。他关上了门，告诉我们只要多付+/-25 欧元，就可以独占整个客舱，我们必须用现金支付，而且他会确保没有人进来...... 这一切都很奇怪，也很可疑，因为另外两张床上都放着写有客人名字的欢迎纸，但也许那些人取消或错过了火车。由于我们真的很想把这间小屋占为己有，我们决定付给他钱。不过，我相信无论如何我们都会独享这个客舱的，而这个客舱服务员只是想赚钱。因为我们太累了（当时是半夜），他就趁机占了便宜。机舱和火车都很好，但我们觉得自己被这个机舱服务员骗了，这让我们感到很不安，而且 12 Go Asia 的预订过程也很麻烦。我希望能得到赔偿，并建议其他人直接在火车站订票，不要在网上与合作伙伴订票。

We booked a private (2 person) cabin online. It was available to book and did the payment etc. only to hear a day later that this cabin actually wasn't available. It was a lot of money already paid. Then the contact center told us we could book a 4-person cabin for the two of us for an additional +/- €50 (ehm, excuse me!? We need to pay extra for your mistake? And not a small amount either.. ). We decided not to do this and to just share the cabin with two others. We left from Ninh Binh but our tickets had the departure time from Hanoi on it, so this was not correct either. On the night itself we entered the train, the toilet(s) were disgusting and the staff was smoking inside the train. The cabin was fine - clean and quite new. There were two other beds which were reserved but not occupied yet. After a while the cabin attendent/conductor came by to check our tickets. He closed the door and told us we could have the whole cabin for ourselves for +/- €25 extra, we had to pay him in cash and he would make sure nobody came in... It was all very strange and dodgy since there were welcome papers with guest names on the other two beds, but perhaps those people cancelled or missed their train. Since we really wanted the cabin for ourselves we decided to pay him the amount. However, I believe we would have had the cabin to ourselves anyway, and this cabin attendent just wanted to make money. He took advantage of the situation since we were so tired (it was the middle of the night). The cabin and train were fine, but we felt like we were scammed by this cabin attendent which left us with an uneasy feeling, and the booking process with 12 Go Asia was such a hassle as well. I would appreciate a compensation and would also recommend others to book directly at the train station and not with a partner online.

司机把我们扔到了一个迷路的地方，我们根本找不到公交车或出租车。

the driver threw us in a lost place where there was no way for us to find a bus or a taxi.

延误、昂贵，与图片上的越南普通列车不一样，而且旁边的越南人只付了我们一半的价格。不值得花 207 澳元。

Delayed, expensive, not the same as the pictures, normal Vietnam train and had Vietnamese people who paid HALF the price next above us. Not worth the $207 AUD.

Quite shaky for a night train, not great to sleep.

Not so confortable for a 1st class
