Hi there,
Great to hear all is going well at home!
Mum...thermomix porridge recipe, 100grm oats, 200 water, 200 milk, pinch salt, 10 mins on 90 degrees, reverse, on 2-3! Funny, porridge took me ages to master too!
I had a lovely dinner out last night for my birthday. We went to Vietminese place recommended in the lonely planet (not a single local in sight... was still a fab resturant!) which was a contrast from the night b4. I enjoyed my mojito's! Delicious!!!!! When we got back the hotel I had a lovely surprise as the tour guide had left me flowers and fresh water pearl earrings and the hotel had left a cake on the bed for me!!! It was so lovely, apprently Pink had noticed it was my birthday when she was looking at our passports!
Today after breakfast (no rats today!) we went out with Pink to visit Ho CHi Minh's Mausoleum. There was no que and we walked straight through (apparrently this is unusual). Kinda weird.... but glad we have seen it, or him rather! Then we went to see the grounds where Ho CHi Minh lived, then the Temple of Literature and Army Museum and finally Hotel Hanoi (the prison). It was all very interesting but we were glad to rest our legs at lunch time and rehydrate!
We are back in the room now, orgainising our gear as tommorrow morning we head to Halong Bay which is about a 3 hour drive. I am looking forward to a swim! It is unbelievably hot!
Reagan.... I got a text b4 to say that tennis was cancelled for today... I wonder if your tennis will be cancelled tomorrow? I will let you know if I get any texts from the tennis club. Hope you are having fun!
Ariana... we were suprised you didn't want to go swimming.... hope Milo enjoyed her walk with you. Is she walking any better on the leash for you yet?
Grandma and Pop.... hope you have enjoyed some time to re-group today and that the weather improves soon for you!
Big hugs for you all,
Love Mummy and Daddy
