Saturday 21 September - Sunday 22 September - Hanoi Saturday 21 September Up at 8.00am, and downstairs to go through the motions of breakfast, with a little bacon to deal with the protein side of things, followed up with some fruit, to cover the plant component which makes it all that little bit healthier. A … Continue reading Vietnam 2024 – Trip Report 11
Friday 20 September - Hanoi Friday 20 September Awake at 7.30am, which ain’t going to happen, and then all of a sudden, it’s 8.45am.

Wednesday 18 September - Thursday 19 September - Hanoi Wednesday 18 September Up around 7.45am, and Hanoi is well and truly awake. The excitement of the Mid-Autumn festival last night, appears to be continuing.

Monday 16 September - Tuesday 17 September - Mai Chau - Hanoi Monday 16 September Up a bit after 8.00am, and the plan to re-live the bike ride from ten years ago, looks doubtful.

Tuesday 10 September - Wednesday 11 September - Phong Nha - Hanoi - Tam Coc Tuesday 10 September Up a bit before 8.00am. The sleep helped, but only a bit. I just feel so flat.

Thursday 21 September - Hanoi - Can Tho Eyes open – 5.30am. Good, back to sleep! It actually works, and the alarm does its thing at 6.45am. I really, really, need to change that bloody tune…..

Wednesday 20 September - Hanoi Woke a couple of times during the night, and when I did, I felt good. But now, at 8.15am, that feeling of wellness is a distant memory.

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
Monday 18 September - Hanoi Awake at 8.30am, and yep, 12.30am is just a little too late. But with our Hanoi days fast disappearing, I don’t actually want them to end. And giving up and going to sleep means they end. And yes, I know that doesn’t really make sense, when we then lose hours … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 21
