Trang An

This morning we are going on a boat ride on Thang An. There are so many boat rides to do here. I’m sure they are all good, just have to pick one and Thang an is just down the road from us.

It’s a big complex and they put four people in a boat and the poor boatmen and woman row them up and down the river for 2 or 3 hours. We decided to give our boat lady a break and pay for the whole boat, and then Graham couldn’t stand it and had to elf her row as well.

It’s only 7.30 and it’s hot already in the sun, all the boat rowers and staff were these special airflow jackets, they have little fans built into them. It’s a lovely ride up and down the river, through a few caves and stopping at a few temples.

The water has been high from all the rain, so there is only one route open today and it’s very popular even this early in the morning.

Our boat lady was an older woman and she thought we were hilarious for some reason, and she loved Graham especially for helping. Some of the other boat ladies tried stealing him when we got back on after a temple stop.

Graham is never cutting his hair after coming to Vietnam, he’s like a super star here, the kids love him, the young girls all want their photo taken with him, everyone keeps telling him how lovely his hair is. 😂😂😂 his head is getting bigger and bigger.Okumaya devam et
