So Luke is on the bus today travelling back from Ha Long Bay eating a baguette, when he looks down and sees a tooth stuck in his bread and thinks Yuk, then Oh, I think it's mine..... His front tooth crown has broken off making him look like a pirate, or USA hockey player. I think that no one is going to mess with his daughter from now on, he looks very mean. We are hoping we might find a dentist who can do an emergency bit of cement work, but it's May day tomorrow so likely they are all on holiday. Oh well, the joys of travel eh?
We've been out to Ha Long Bay, very beautiful area of the South China Sea but definately way too polluted for swimming. We are so used to clear clean ocean in NZ, you forget how it can be elsewhere. Being a Vietnamese public holiday it was very busy, like Malaga on a bad day. But stunning scenery and good kayaking floating among 250 million year old limestone karsts poking out of the water. Lots of eagles crusing by. We had a boat to ourselves, our guide skipped all the queues and we were out on the water eating delicious seafood lunch within 20mins. Perfect.
Can't post photos yet but have finally figured out how to do this so might be able to later.
Anyway, now is Bia Hoi o'clock and we are about to head out with our group, which is a good bunch of Kiwis, Aussies and one Canadian. Nice people to travel with so we are pretty lucky.
Ma and Pa, thanks for the email.
