Final legs ...
HUE:
2 British girls, Bryony and Jackie, who dared to try the local champagne for our day trip along the Perfume River - at the Hon Chen Temple, recommended by our guide, Paul Keating's interpreter's uncle (or so he said - and that was about all he said)
Pick the possums:
HANOI:
We arrived in Hanoi just after National Day, and decided to lash out and stay in 5-star comfort at the Sofitel up on the West Lake -
a little bit out of old Hanoi, but with sweeping views of the city and across the Red River.
Our compatriots, John and Terry, and allies, David and Anthony did the same. So, it was just a quick shared taxi trip into town for a meal at Seasons of Hanoi, visit to Uncle Ho's tomb and house or a showing of the water puppets.
VINH HA LONG:
What a way to end our trip ... one of the natural wonders of the world! Daphne just about goes loopy when she sees these pics. We just remind her how good the duck and swan tasted in Hanoi!
