Downtime in Hoi an
Yesterday in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Had a nice leisurely breakfast and just going to take it easy today, chillax do a bit of shopping, go for final fitting at tailors and see where the wind blows us

Had a little dip in the pool too.

Now getting the double whammy, a pedicure and reflexology, boy it's painful but in a good way

Had second fitting at tailors and now sitting down for a spot of lunch.

So pretty much had an easy day, pottering round the shops, went back to hotel and finished reading my book, had a lovely dinner with Moroccan Mint tea and honey, but of a sore throat from all the a/c and back for and early night.

Tomorrow Saigon here we comeRead more

November 18 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Yesterday was a late one, up this morning had a nice breakfast and then went to get measured for a suit, had a coconut ice-cream coffee and now a quick snooze before riding off into the country and learning to make noodles

Having a quick iced tea before noodle making and cycling in the countryside

So learnt how to make a type of noodles and then ate them, then served a delicious meal.

Then went cycling in the countryside, met a lovely old man and learnt about farming, drank tea, and banana wine as well as taking a trip in a small round boat followed by a bigger one down the riverRead more

November 16 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
So the motorbike tour that I swore I was not going to go on was amazing. After the Citadel we went to the temple which had an amazing pagoda followed by a vegan lunch at a nunnery and then to a mausoleum after which we went to a village where they made incense.

After that we went to bunker Hill where the view was stunning and we finished off with a trip to the country side.

Came back to the hotel, snoozed, had a long long awaited shower, and now sat down with my Cuba libre waiting for dinner 😁

Dinner was amazing, followed by a game of jenga. Loser had to buy shots, then had a green tea ice cream and now in a bar having a cucumber mojito.

Tomorrow we are doing the hai van pass, bring it onRead more
