Thoughts on my 12-night Vietnam itinerary — Hanoi, Lan Ha Cruise, Ninh Binh, Da Nang/Hoi An?

First time visiting Vietnam with my girlfriend. We want a mix of adventure, beaches, food, nice hotels/pools, sightseeing and relaxing, without constantly rushing around.

Dates are 26th September- 8th October

This is what I'm currently thinking:

Day 1 — Hanoi

Day 2 — Hanoi

Day 3 — Hanoi → Lan Ha Bay (1 night cruise)

Day 4 — Lan Ha Bay → Ninh Binh

Day 5 — Ninh Binh

Day 6 — Ninh Binh → Da Nang

Day 7 — Da Nang

Day 8 — Da Nang → Hoi An

Day 9 — Hoi An/Da Nang

Day 10 — Da Nang/Hoi An

Day 11 — Da Nang/Hoi An

Day 12 — Da Nang → Hanoi

Day 13 — Hanoi → Home

A few qurstions:

Any suggestions on any changes?
Or General advice on places to go to
Does anyone have a good Lan Ha Bay cruise they'd recommend?

Do you think da nang is too risky because of rain?

Flashing gear + spanner + engine light

2012 451 coupe 90k miles

I need help diagnosing an ongoing gearbox issue on my Smart Fortwo 451.

Parts replaced: (hasn’t helped)
Clutch slave actuator (the one that pushes in/out on the gearbox, side-mounted)

Current symptoms:
Ignition ON → shows 3 flashing lines
Press brake → hear click, then flashing N appears
Can sometimes select A or 1, but inconsistent
Reverse (R) will not engage
Gear selection is erratic and unreliable
Car will start only when N is present, but N continues flashing
Issue remains exactly the same after replacing clutch slave actuator

🔋 Voltage / electrical:
Alternator charging ~14.4V when running
Battery around 12.3-12.5V when off
Currently stable after charging, but fault persists

🧠 Fault codes seen:
P0915 (gear position / performance related)

🔍 What I’ve checked:
Clutch slave actuator replaced
Wiring connectors checked and seated
No change in symptoms after actuator replacement

Anyone have any experience with this? Any help would be appreciated
