Monday 3 October - Hanoi - Saigon The usual routine of eyes open at 7.00am, give or take, is altered, with today being not quite 6.00am. Anticipation of the flight? The angst associated with leaving my beloved Hanoi? Not sure, but maybe both. The good news is I’ve still got a bit over an hour, … Continue reading Vietnam 2022 – Trip Report 27
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
29 September - Saigon - Hanoi Awake at 6.00am. And not because I wanted to be. Alarm was actually set for 7.30am.

Apart from maybe a minute or two here or there, I’m not … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 25
28 September - Saigon No alarm required this morning, which is always nice, and my first observation is that it’s light. But it feels late. Time checked, and it’s just 7.15am. Good, not unhappy about laying here a little longer. And really, not having any plans for the day means there’s not much point getting … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 24
27 September - Can Gio - Saigon As it was asked to do, the alarm does its thing at 5.00am. Lucky we were in bed early, although right now, it doesn’t really feel like it was that early. I’ll blame the rice wine. Slept alright, though. Well, I did when I was actually sleeping. Had … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 23
26 September - Saigon - Can Gio Awake at 7.00am, but today there is no time for sleeping in. We get ourselves organised, including packing up the majority of our stuff, and try and work out what we’ll need for the next 24 hours. That sorted, we head downstairs and have a quick chat with … Continue reading Cambodia / Vietnam 2019 – Trip Report 22
Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City The alarm goes off. It’s loud. But things are always loud at 4.30am. My early morning, fuzzy brain, slowly begins to kick in. First realisation; I feel like crap. I feel like absolute crap! My wish from the night before has not come true. I now feel worse. Significantly … Continue reading Vietnam 2016 – Trip Report 17
