18 October - Soc Trang - Can Tho (Mekong Delta Tour) The alarm goes off at 4.00am. That hurts. But not as much as the ‘goodbye’ that’s coming. And Wang’s Mum is now making that just that little bit harder. She’s already up and in the kitchen, and because she knows how much we love … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 17

17 October - Ben Tre - Soc Trang (Mekong Delta tour) Up early, which wasn’t too bad this time, seeing as we’d had a relatively early night. Get our stuff organised and then went for a bit of a look around the homestay, Gite Nha Vuon Nam Hien. It has heaps of character, and it’s … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 16

12 October - Ba Be Lake - Hanoi Just for a change, up early again to get myself organised. Yep, it’s here. The end of the Northern adventure.

I’m feeling alright, not 100%, but nothing that’s going to stop me doing anything. Laying in bed, I grab the camera to look at some of our photos. … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 11

Pu Luong - Day 2 There are ways to wake up, and then there are ways to wake up. And if I could wake up like this every day for the rest of my life, then I’d take it in a heartbeat. The soothing, and peaceful sounds were still there. Including the running water one. … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 10

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
