Hi all, This is a long one so I have broken it down into sections (IN BOLD) Well to begin with the website as no default photos of Vietnam, so I've had to opt for tiger here! I'll put some good photoss of Vietnam on in the next week or so. VIETNAM SO FAR.... I arrived here on Tuesday afternoon and checked into a hotel that I can only describe as the Ritz. Well it wasn't that nice, but very clean, massive king size bed, sofas, balcony on t...

Hi all, I am sorry to start this postcard whilst listening to Kerry going to town against Cork in the All Ireland semi final (so far 0-10 to 0-4).

Hi all, I was only in Brisbane for two days which was a real shame as I would love to have spent more time there and in particular have had time to go to Noosa, the gold coast, surfers paradise and Nimbin!!! In traditional fashion I found an Irish bar (mick O'Malley's) and was also served the best pint of guiness that I have tasted in oz.
