Leaving Vietnam

Vietnam is great! We visited Ho Chi Minh City, Hué, Hoi An, Nha Trang and Mui Ne in the space of 2 weeks. It has only stopped raining now after 3 days being stuck in our resort. Chris was ragen we could not get out to the famous sand dunes but we will see plenty on our Aussie travels. The highlight of the trip was definitely Hoi An. Our hotel was amazing and the people were so friendly. The town itself was beautiful. We would love to come back again if they ever have cheap flights from home.

The photos are at the usual place...and here!

Just been through the rest of the Viet Nam photos. Seems a really fantastic place -- full of contrasts. So many great images, it's hard to think where to start. First off, Dougall's hat is excellent. You couldn't possibly sell him, he's a member of the family --it would be like me selling David (though if a good enough offer came along .....).
Anyway, the wee kid was so cute, loved the ferry with all the motor bikes, the sleeping bus (Are trains too dear?), the statue of Santa, the mosquito net, all the strange beer (and beer glasses), and so much more that would take too long to list. I'll have to get there sometime, but reckon that mum would have to be a bit more adventurous so far as eating is concerned. I'll start on Oz on my next catch-up visit.

The trains are kind of expensive and slow but it would have been a good experience. If I go back I reckon I'll take a train from Hanoi, maybe into China even. I'd love to go trekking as a bit of a challenge because everything was done for us on our trip. Not that I'm complaining about that, it was a great holiday.
