Tomorrow is Christmas day and the forecast is 27° and sunny, so I can safely say we won't be having a white Christmas. Happily we are spending the day with Tom and having our Christmas lunch at a local hotel in Hanoi.

We have been travelling now for nearly eight months and during that time we have been privileged to meet some wonderful people. So, as we know many of you are following our blog along with our family and friends at home, Chris and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and an adventurous New Year.
