Vietnam 2024 – Trip Report 10

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. Downstairs just after 9.00am, and it’s fried eggs, fruit, and some juice. Back up to get ready for nothing in particular, and then back down for a quick chat with Jenny.  … Continue reading Vietnam 2024 – Trip Report 10

Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 21

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

Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 16

Wednesday 13 September - Hanoi Awake just before 7.00am. Nah, too early. Back to sleep, and surprisingly, it works. Awake an hour later, and yep, far more respectable. Get organised; for what, I’m still not sure; and downstairs to do something about breakfast. I’m it, there’s no one else there. As I take a seat, … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 16

Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 6

Sunday 3 September - Hanoi 6.00am.  It’s becoming a habit. Not happening, so back to sleep. 7.30am.  Better.  But still not happening. Sleep, doze, just lay there, and all of a sudden it’s 8.30am. Could quite happily continue just laying here, but I need to make an appearance in the dining room, just in case … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 6

Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 23

Thursday 29 September - Hanoi The routine continues.  Eyes open just after 7.00am, and as much as I’d like to bounce out of bed and meet the day head on, I’m just not the bouncing, morning type of person. More sleep is attempted, but not achieved, and it’s merely light dozing. 8.30am arrives, and probably … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 23

Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 28

2 October - Hanoi Wake up a bit after 8.00am.  Bit of a sleep in, I suppose. But it hasn’t really helped. I just feel flat.  And disappointed. We’ve been away now for pretty much four weeks, so I guess at some point it was always going to happen.  Probably a little surprised it hadn’t … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 28

Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 13

  Hanoi No real sleep in today, but not up that early, either. That plan for the day? Ticking off another thing from my list. Well, a couple of things, actually. West Lake and Truc Bach Lake. As well as that downed B52 bomber in another lake. But first, breakfast on our balcony. Which, strangely, … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 13
