27 October - Hanoi Actually had a bit of a sleep in, which doesn’t happen too often, and then headed next door for breakfast. Back on our balcony, enjoying some fruit, but enjoying the goings on down below, more. Loved it three years ago, loved being back 18 months ago, and now, just rapt to … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 26
26 October - Hoi An - Hanoi Just for a change, we’re up about 7.00am. But this time we sort of need to be. Do a bit of packing and tidying up, and then head downstairs for the usual breakfast of fruit and caphe sua da. That done, we finish off the packing and … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 25
25 October - Hoi An Up at our fairly usual time of 7.00am, give or take a few minutes, which seems to be a recurring theme. I’m not sure why it always seems to be around 7.00am, because it’s certainly not a conscious thing. It kind of just happens. Anyway, whatever the reason, we head … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 24
24 October - Hoi An Up just after 7.00am, and like yesterday, I feel okay. Head downstairs for my usual breakfast of fruit, and decide to give the caphe sua da another try. Both are excellent, so the day is off to a good start. Nothing much planned for the day, well, apart from catching … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 23
23 October - Hoi An 7.00am, and fortunately, there’s no urgency to find the bathroom. But, in the haze of those first few seconds of waking up, how do I feel? I’m not sure. I think I might be okay, but I’m a little nervous calling it this early. Off to the toilet to try … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 22
22 October - Hoi An Wake up about 7.00am, which is a little earlier than I planned, or wanted. But, when your body decides that it no longer needs, or wants, something that it’s retaining, you kind of need to get up. And because it seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 21
21 October - Can Tho - Hoi An The alarm does its requested job at 6.30am, and we get ourselves organised doing the final pack up thing. As well as try and prepare for those goodbyes that I hate so much. We head out for a breakfast of banh mi with cheese spread, some fruit, … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 20
20 October - Can Tho Back to the alarm thing…. Up at 5.15am; fortunately it’s not raining; and by 5.30am, we’re on the back of motorbikes heading over to Green Village 1. ‘T’, who we met yesterday, is taking us. Interestingly, he’s not really a morning person…. Coming with us are a couple of … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 19
19 October - Can Tho Wake up just before 8.00am. Hmmm, almost ten hours sleep. Must have needed it…. And off in the distance, the muffled sounds of karaoke. It’s funny, our first ‘experience’ with karaoke was down here three years ago. You’ll find it all over Vietnam, but perhaps it’s a little more … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 18
18 October - Soc Trang - Can Tho (Mekong Delta Tour) The alarm goes off at 4.00am. That hurts. But not as much as the ‘goodbye’ that’s coming. And Wang’s Mum is now making that just that little bit harder. She’s already up and in the kitchen, and because she knows how much we love … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 17
