12 September - can tho Slept okay. Sort of. Probably shouldn’t have had those two beers when we got back. Up around 8.00am, and then head down to have breakfast. While waiting, I check a WhatsApp message on my phone, from a person called Hanh, who I assume is from the Easyrider group who will … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 6
11 september - can tho Those sounds of the Mekong, mostly frogs and crickets, worked well, with sleep, unusually for me, coming pretty quickly. Up a couple of times during the night, to do what has to be done when you get up in the darkness, and then up a bit before 8.00am. I head … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 5
10 september - ho chi minh city - can tho Yep, 12.50am was too late. I really need to be better, but there were two beers still in the fridge, and I didn’t want to leave them there, nor take them on the bus trip with us. A job needed to be done, and the … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 4
9 SEPTEMBER – HO CHI MINH CITY Awake a bit after 7.30am, and apart from a feeling of lethargy, which can be dealt with by simply getting up and moving, I feel alright. Force Lisa to also do the getting up thing, and we’re out into a well awake Saigon, a little after 8.00am. Disappear … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 3
7-8 September - Melbourne - Singapore - hcmc Wednesday 7 September - It’s here! The day we begin something that, right up until May became June, we were never going to do this year. But by mid June, that all changed, when the realisation hit that we could actually do this. Off to work … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 1
It's finally happening again! 2022 arrived, and while Covid lockdowns appeared, hopefully, to be a thing of the past, the new year didn’t feel that much different to the previous two. Overseas travel not only still seemed an impossibility, but it also felt like it would be that way for significant time to come. Vietnam … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – The Planning
10-11 October - Hanoi - Kuala Lumpur - Melbourne It’s a few minutes before 6.00am, and for some reason, my eyes are open. But getting up now just isn’t an option, so sleep is again attempted. I’m mostly unsuccessful, with just interrupted dozing achieved. And again, it’s mainly because of everything that’s going through my … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 36
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
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
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
