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.

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.  About here, and about what’s going on at home. It’s not supposed to be this way…… Downstairs by 8.30am, and … Continue reading Vietnam 2024 – Trip Report 5

Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 23

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

Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 15

Tuesday 12 September - Bac Ha - Hanoi Awake at 3.00am. Then again at 5.00am. Damn this clock watching / alarm anticipation thing in my sleep. Lay, doze, but mainly lay, and then get up just before 6.00am. Off to the toilet to check things out, and it seems it is all but a distant … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 15

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

9 October - Hanoi The alarm was set for 6.45am. However it’s 5.30am, and my eyes are open. That’s actually good, as I can roll over and sleep for another hour. But it doesn’t happen, and it ends up being an hour of just laying there, listening to the sounds of Hanoi waking up. As … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 35

Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 34

8 October - Hanoi   Wake up around 7.00am, and feel okay. Which is good.  And even better, I don’t actually need to get up yet.  With no real plans for the day, a bit more sleep is the preferred option. I set about trying to achieve that, with what, in the end, is probably … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 34

Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 33

7 October - Hanoi  (Incense Village) Eyes open about 6.30am, which is kind of good, as the alarm is still not due to go off for another hour. And I could do with another hour, seeing as six hours sleep – due to my inability to follow through with my good intentions of an early-ish … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 33

Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 32

6 October - Hanoi   Wake up about 8.45am. The good news? I actually feel pretty good. Although I did have some really strange dreams during the night. Of course I can’t remember them, but yeah, they were definitely weird. The same thing happened in Can Gio, so apart from beer, there’s only one other … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 32
