Monday 23 September - Tuesday 24 September - Hanoi - Can Tho (Green Village) Monday 23 September Up just before 9.00am, and downstairs for the easy breakfast of fruit.

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
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. Downstairs for breakfast – me, trứng chiên (fried egg), while practicing my Vietnamese badly, and fruit for Lisa, who is at … Continue reading Vietnam 2024 – Trip Report 9
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. A storm that rolled in during the night, lighting up the room with some pretty impressive lightning, is still lingering, with … Continue reading Vietnam 2024 – Trip Report 8
Saturday 14 September - Sunday 15 September - Tam Coc - Mai Chau Saturday 14 September We beat the alarm jingle, up just before 6.30am. Final pack up, which always takes longer than it should, and then up to fix up our bill, including the cost of our transport to Mai Chau, which … Continue reading Vietnam 2024 – Trip Report 7
Sunday 8 September - Monday 9 September - Phong Nha Sunday 8 September Downstairs a bit before 8.00am, and as we go to take a seat at one of the three or four tables, the main guy asks us if we’d like to eat out by the pool. My initial thought is, not really, as … Continue reading Vietnam 2024 – Trip Report 4
Wednesday 4 September - Thursday 5 September - Hue Wednesday 4 September A lazy start, and not out until 8.45am. It’s hot already, and the thought of a bike ride doesn’t seem as good an idea as it did last night. Into our street, and the food options and possibilities have all changed. Long weekend … Continue reading Vietnam 2024 – Trip Report 2
Saturday 23 September - Can Tho Awake, and up, a bit before 8.00am. The night was uneventful, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was uninterrupted sleep the whole way through. But, I rarely achieve that anyway. I hardly feel brilliant, but I’m no worse than last night, so that’s a positive. … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 26
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. Head blocked up, some aches and pains, and an overwhelming feeling of lethargy. Lucky it was a relatively early night….. Downstairs by 8.45am … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 23
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
