Sunday 24 September - Can Tho - Saigon Yep, alarm not needed. Clock watching during sleep prevented that annoying sound from doing its thing. Up just before 7.30am, get ourselves organised, and then down for the usual breakfast of eggs on toast, along with a passionfruit juice. It’s a little cloudy, but the sun is … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 27
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
Friday 22 september - Can Tho Well, the night was uneventful. Those cheap little Imodium tablets go alright. It’s now 7.45am, and apart from a severe case of lethargy, I feel okay. But there’s not a lot of desire to get up, so a bit of lazing ensues, along with that thinking that I love … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 25
Thursday 21 September - Hanoi - Can Tho Eyes open – 5.30am. Good, back to sleep! It actually works, and the alarm does its thing at 6.45am. I really, really, need to change that bloody tune….. Get organised, and we, yes we, undertake that packing thing I love so much. But the ‘we’ soon becomes … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 24
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
Tuesday 19 September - Hanoi Eyes open, and I try and guess the time by how much noise I can hear. My suspicion is that it’s early, which is what I really want it to be, seeing as I don’t really want to get up yet. Phone is looked at. It’s 7.30am. Good, we don’t … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 22
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
Sunday 17 September - Hanoi Wake a few times during the night, but each time it’s still dark. That’s good. But then it is light; bit before 8.00am, I’m told. Lay there, but then force myself, as well as Lisa, to make a move. Downstairs after 8.30am, into the breakfast area, and we’re it. It … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 20
Saturday 16 September - Hanoi Another slow-ish start, not getting up till just after 8.00am. Downstairs around 8.30am, and this time we both disappoint the breakfast staff, choosing just fruit, along of course with a cà phê sữa đá. We sit, eat, savour the coffee, chat a little, but the chatting comes to an abrupt … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 19
Friday 15 September - Hanoi It’s a slow start, as it was always likely to be. You know, someone’s jetlag and all. 8.00am comes and goes, but I don’t let 8.30am arrive without being vertical. Enough is enough. Get sorted and head downstairs. And yes, it is down the stairs. They’re not difficult stairs. It … Continue reading Vietnam 2023 – Trip Report 18
