Train party, dragon boats and pagodas.

We have made it to Hoi Ann, about 1/2 way down the Vietnam coastline, close to the South China Sea, which is called the Eastern Sea by Vietnamese because who wants to give it to China huh? So small photo essay recording some of our many many activities. It's been quite a party so far, good company, excellent food and just a tad of Vodka.


Train Party, Hanoi to Hue.

9 Hours on a sleeper, but got no sleep what so ever. Khanh, our boss leader brought along Hanoi Vodka, ice and speakers for his iPod and we partied until the French in the cabin next door told us to shut just just a petit por. Yeh right!

A dragon boat ride up the perfume river, which does actually smell nice.

The amazing Thien Mu pagoda in Hue. Complete with holy fans.

Part of our group posing at the Thien Mu gardens.

 A quick stop at a resort for coffee on the way to Hoi Ann.

Cute school kids in Hue. We all want to steal a Vietnamese baby.
Now in Hoi Ann it is the shopping mecca of Vietnam, where you can get your tailor made shoes, dresses, reading glasses etc and we are off to spend some money..... Just had the most amazing lunch ever of king prawns cooked in a coconut chilli soup, served in the coconut shell. Delish-i-mo.

  1. Awesome! Great to see that you are having a blast despite missing some front toothage! (Or did it get fixed with good old Vietnamese ingenuity?) Keep the pics and stories coming! Gerard
