Thursday 6 / Friday 7 October - Saigon to Melbourne Sleep slowly becomes awakeness, of sorts, and through the haze of tiredness, too many late nights, and maybe too many beers, the realisation hits me. We’ve arrived at that day that seemed so far away, when this whole thing began. I’m really struggling to understand … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 30
Tuesday 4 October - Saigon A sound sleep it certainly was not. Wake several times during the night, and each time I do, it looks like it’s light outside. It’s not, well, it is, but that’s only because there are several lights on. Then there’s that noise. In my sleep haze, it sounds like someone … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 28
Sunday 2 October - Hanoi Eyes open. It’s close to, but not yet 7.00am. It ain’t happening. A little more dozing, maybe even a few minutes of extra sleep achieved, but a nagging thought that we’ll miss breakfast is enough to make me make a move around 8.00am, even though I don’t really want to. … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 26
Saturday 1 October - Hanoi Awake, this time before 7.00am. Two things I know; I ain’t getting up, and yep, I really wasn’t that smart last night. Eyes closed again, and mere minutes later, or that’s what it felt like, the alarm rudely does its job at 7.50am. I needed the extra sleep, and could … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 25
Tuesday 27 September - Hanoi 7.00am, eyes open. Yeah, not a chance that that is happening. Lay there, doze, lay there, before making an effort just after 8.00am. I feel okay, but at the same time, there is an element of tiredness, and a general feeling of flatness. It didn’t feel like we did a … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 21
Monday 26 September - Hanoi Awake at 7.00am. Nup, not happening. Doze for an hour listening to the usual noises of Vietnam; cars and bikes, and their horns, as well as voices. Eventually make the effort to become vertical, and we’re downstairs around 8.30am where we meet up with Kerstin again. She doesn’t really have … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 20
19 september - hanoi Awake at 5.00am. That is most definitely not going to happen. But true sleep never returns, and instead, it’s just of the dozing variety. I just feel wrecked and my neck hurts. Both those things are probably a result of last night. First, the late night, which I really need to … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 13
18 september - hanoi Up just before 8.00am, and having turned the air conditioner off, the room is pretty warm. But the feel of it, on the other hand, is still rather frosty. Oh well….. Out around 8.30am, and my goal is to find breakfast; hopefully a banh mi opla, or similar. Not for me, … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 12
16 september - hue Awake around 6.45am. Not a chance that that is going to happen. Manage to eek out another hour, and then make a move. But only because we really should. We get a message from Eva, and yep, we’re doing the coffee thing after breakfast. Hue is finishing far better than it … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 10
15 September - hue Wake up about 7.00am, just like yesterday. But unlike yesterday, I don’t feel the need to check on our belongings, nor do I have to move any beer cans that were strategically placed near the door. It’s a nice feeling. We get organised, and head outside by 8.00am. It’s hot already. … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 9
