Tuesday 19 September - Hanoi Eyes open, and I try and guess the time by how much noise I can hear. My suspicion is that it’s early, which is what I really want it to be, seeing as I don’t really want to get up yet. Phone is looked at. It’s 7.30am. Good, we don’t … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 22
Thursday 31 August - Saigon - Hanoi Eyes open, time checked. 4.45am. Good! Back to sleep. Sort of. Phone looked at again; 5.30am. Still good. Doze, but little else, and then it happens. That bloody alarm tune! Get up, get sorted, and pack up. Quick check of the time, and my phone is telling me … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 3
Sunday 2 October - Hanoi Eyes open. It’s close to, but not yet 7.00am. It ain’t happening. A little more dozing, maybe even a few minutes of extra sleep achieved, but a nagging thought that we’ll miss breakfast is enough to make me make a move around 8.00am, even though I don’t really want to. … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 26
Tuesday 27 September - Hanoi 7.00am, eyes open. Yeah, not a chance that that is happening. Lay there, doze, lay there, before making an effort just after 8.00am. I feel okay, but at the same time, there is an element of tiredness, and a general feeling of flatness. It didn’t feel like we did a … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 21
18 september - hanoi Up just before 8.00am, and having turned the air conditioner off, the room is pretty warm. But the feel of it, on the other hand, is still rather frosty. Oh well….. Out around 8.30am, and my goal is to find breakfast; hopefully a banh mi opla, or similar. Not for me, … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 12
17 september - hue - hanoi Eyes open, time checked. It’s 5.45am. Good, plenty more time to sleep. Five minutes later, it’s 8.00am. Obviously needed it. Into the upright position, and make a start on that packing thing, which, because we’d had laundry done yesterday, was quicker and easier than it usually is. Downstairs, and … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 11
9 October - Hanoi The alarm was set for 6.45am. However it’s 5.30am, and my eyes are open. That’s actually good, as I can roll over and sleep for another hour. But it doesn’t happen, and it ends up being an hour of just laying there, listening to the sounds of Hanoi waking up. As … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 35
8 October - Hanoi Wake up around 7.00am, and feel okay. Which is good. And even better, I don’t actually need to get up yet. With no real plans for the day, a bit more sleep is the preferred option. I set about trying to achieve that, with what, in the end, is probably … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 34
7 October - Hanoi (Incense Village) Eyes open about 6.30am, which is kind of good, as the alarm is still not due to go off for another hour. And I could do with another hour, seeing as six hours sleep – due to my inability to follow through with my good intentions of an early-ish … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 33
6 October - Hanoi Wake up about 8.45am. The good news? I actually feel pretty good. Although I did have some really strange dreams during the night. Of course I can’t remember them, but yeah, they were definitely weird. The same thing happened in Can Gio, so apart from beer, there’s only one other … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 32
