Goodbye Vietnam (again!)

Today we left Hanoi and Vietnam, flew back to Hong Kong, then flew to Perth.

I liked the Cu Chi tunnels because they were dark and exciting. I also liked the kayaking in Ha Long Bay because it was in a beautiful lagoon and it was fun.

It was very busy and there were motor bikes everywhere. But there were some nice beaches!

We managed to travel a fair amount in Vietnam, with coming back again after Cambodia – it was like coming home the second time, familiar money, sights and language! What will I remember in years to come? Meeting up with my mum and my niece in Ho Chi Minh City was brilliant, so that’s my number one memory.

Everywhere we went the people were really friendly and welcoming. I feel that I know so much more now of the history of the last 100 years in South East Asia – we really do not get the full story in western schooling. I’ve realised how Western-centric (if that’s a word) my knowledge of history and politics in this region was – I certainly don’t know everything now, and I’ll look forward to learning more on future visits but I learnt so much, it’s been great!

I found Vietnam to be very friendly, beautiful and full of interesting history. There is so much more that we didn’t see so I would love to come back and explore some more.

To Hanoi

Today we left our hotel and went to Hanoi. We took a long bus journey to get there. When we got there, it was very busy and noisy.

We went out for tea at a curry place and had a massive naan bread!

Then we went to a night market and while we were going home we saw a stage with really loud music. There was dancing and singing.
