Xin Chao! As you'll have guessed we are in actual fact writing this from our home in Melbourne over three weeks after returning to Australia on the 26th January. Due to holdup getting the internet connected, we haven't been able to update you on our memorable two weeks in Vietnam on route from Scotland to Australia.

As expected, Washington was paradise for a Hisory/Po...
