Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 26

30 September - Hanoi Eyes open about 7.30am.  But I don’t feel that great.  It actually feels a bit like a hangover, but it’s not a hangover. Try a bit more sleep to see if that improves things, and an hour later, it hasn’t.  But, I’m no worse, and it’s not that bad that it’s … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 26

Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 25

29 September - Saigon - Hanoi Awake at 6.00am.  And not because I wanted to be. Alarm was actually set for 7.30am. Hoping to make use of the alarm I carefully set last night, I try to rectify my problem of being awake. Apart from maybe a minute or two here or there, I’m not … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 25

28 September - Saigon No alarm required this morning, which is always nice, and my first observation is that it’s light. But it feels late. Time checked, and it’s just 7.15am. Good, not unhappy about laying here a little longer.  And really, not having any plans for the day means there’s not much point getting … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 24

27 September - Can Gio - Saigon As it was asked to do, the alarm does its thing at 5.00am.  Lucky we were in bed early, although right now, it doesn’t really feel like it was that early. I’ll blame the rice wine. Slept alright, though.  Well, I did when I was actually sleeping. Had … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 23

25 September - Saigon   Awake, but have no idea what time it is.  And, not really wanting to know at this stage, I doze for a bit. Eventually my interest in what time it actually is, gets the better of me.  Partly because I suspect the morning is starting to get away from us.  … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 21

19 September - Can Tho Awake at 7.30am; a little bit of a sleep in, I suppose. The process of then figuring out how I actually feel, begins. And through the haze of just waking up, a realisation hits me. I feel good.  Like, really good! Finally, after a week, it seems to have gone.  … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 15

18 September - Can Tho   Alarm was set for 6.45am, but as often happens, it wasn’t required.  Awake at 6.30am; oh well, close enough. Actually slept okay, and now, as I lay there, I await the usual signs from the past week to tell me I don’t feel that good. Headache from last night … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 14

15 September - Chau Doc I wake up a bit before 7.30am.  Which is good, on two counts. It means I actually got some sleep, and it also means I’m still alive. It was a rough night, though. Fortunately, I suppose, it was all about the high temperature and the just generally feeling like crap.  … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 11

Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 30

31 October - Hanoi Our last full day. And while it’s not as bad as the actual day that you leave, it’s still not a great feeling. Live the moment.  Live the moment…. But that’s not always that easy. We head next door for breakfast, and fortunately, there’s chairs free on the balcony. Which is … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 30

30 October - Hanoi Alarm goes off at 6.30am.  Perhaps should have made it a little earlier, but that might have been pushing my luck, somewhat. I probably shouldn’t complain, 6.00am was just a bit too painful for me to comprehend last night. We get down to the lake by 6.50am, and there’s heaps of … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 29
