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 riverLeia mais

Downtime in Hoi an
19 de novembro de 2019, Vietnã ⋅ ☀️ 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 comeLeia mais

Tunnels
21 de novembro de 2019, Vietnã ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
So had a quick breckki in the morning before heading off to see the tunnels the Vietnamese resistance used to hide from the Americans during the war.

Was taken round the area by the guide and saw the lifestyle of the Vietnamese during the war and got to go down the tunnels which were very claustrophobic being built for men of a tiny statureLeia mais

Mekong Delta
22 de novembro de 2019, Vietnã ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
So we have had breakfast and now have 6 new people join the group, now on the bus on the way to the river to get on a boat and try a lot of fruit from the tropical fruit garden

So we saw how the different tropical fruits were grown, and then had a taste. After this we went to the bee farm, checked out the bees, tasted some honey from the hive followed by some honey tea.

We then got back on the boat to go to the coconut farm/factory and saw how the coconut was farmed and opened and stripped.

Also watched the woman making the candy (very nimble fingers).

We then went on to taste the coconut wine, banana wine and rice wine which just happened to have cobras and scorpions in the bottle'sLeia mais

Had to add another section to show off more pictures.

After the wine we got on a motorised type of van to take a trip up and down some narrow streets followed by a short canoe ride to give an idea of the working life of the farmersLeia mais
