Blog posts from our 2nd trip to Vietnam in 2016.
Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Pu Luong Nature Reserve Up early. Again….. But this morning made yesterday feel like a sleep-in. This time, we were up before 5.00am! They say nothing good happens after 2.00am. Well, I reckon nothing good happens before 5.00am! I didn’t even have the kids here to act all bubbly in … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 9
Quy Nhon - Hanoi Up early. Seems to be a recurring theme….. We had been up during the night, though. Some time just after 1.00am, to be precise. No, it wasn’t another dodgy pho, or any other food, for that matter. Not even too much beer! It was music. Very loud music And not very … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 8
Quy Nhon Up, and feeling, probably better than what I thought I might. Fortunately, the sudden exiting of the pho was a one off. I’d half expected to endure several repeat performances during the night. Although, we did have a little bit of a disturbed night. Being a very local hotel, and Quy Nhon … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 7
Quy Nhon Up early, but not overly early. We’re on holidays, remember. Normally I would roll out of bed, but that would require a bed that was conducive to that. Seeing as that wasn’t the case, this morning I rolled ‘off’ the bed. Ahhh, those ceramic floor tiles feel soft! Just joking. Sort of…. … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 6
Ho Chi Minh City - Quy Nhon 5.15am! 5.15am! On a Saturday! Although, to be fair, you don’t really have days of the week when you’re on holidays. But still, 5.15am! Who’s idea was it to catch the early flight to Quy Nhon? I’d like to blame Lisa, but I can’t. A quick pack … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 5
Ho Chi Minh City Up and raring to go to begin our second full day. Well, as raring as I am in the morning…. Had the alarm set on my phone to ensure we were up in time, but really, it wasn’t necessary. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how full, or how empty, your … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 4
Ho Chi Minh City Up nice and early……umm no…… More like…… Awake….., nice and early. But not through choice. That was one of the things that reminded me that we were back in Vietnam. Yep, it really ain’t a quiet country. Well, not in the morning….. And the other thing that reminded me was my … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 3
Ho Chi Minh City Out the main doors of the terminal. Heat, humidity, crowds, noise. Yep, no mistaking where we are. The last time we were here (around 18 months ago) we were waiting to board a flight to Nha Trang. We’d spent little more than a day and a half in HCMC, followed … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 2
Melbourne - Ho Chi Minh City So, that day has finally arrived. That day, that seemed so far away back on the 25th October last year when the flights were booked, was here. Where, oh where, did that time go…..? And the last two weeks? The mad rush of tying up all those loose … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 1
