Hello from Hoi An - the good news? It was sunny yesterday, so on the 30th November I was sunning myself next to a pool sipping a cool beer and generally having fun in the sun. Lots have happened since my last blog, hopefully the pictures help fill in the gaps….or at the very least provide a couple of minutes distraction from whatever it was you were doing before you clicked on the link to my site… So, a relaxing time here, 3 nights in the same place, which...

Hey from Hue - where's that 'accent' symbol when you need it? Highlight of this stay was riding around on a scooter with the group - we were all passengers to very experienced drivers. We went through puddles, navigated narrow alleyways, saw some amazing sites including the infamous 'Hamburger' Hill and had a super fun ride around the paddy fields. Yay!

Hello from Cat Ba island - beautiful stone monoliths jut out from the still bay waters.

The history museum was rubbish, unless you like that sort of thing - only took 20mins to go round. Hanoi has a couple of lakes, one where there are turtles in, but you can't see them. Did a pedicab...

Hong Kong is mad - lots of lights, lots to see and do - all go, most of the time. It is a very clean place in direct contrast to China - no spitting allowed!!! Visited Victoria Peak, saw the bay in day and night - lightshow was spectacular to behold. Food was yummy, even the intestines, lungs and bowel that our group leader convinced me to eat - so-called Dim Sum! Saw Quantum of Solace on our last night there, which rounded off the trip nicely - go Bond!! Fro...
