Ha Long Bay







Photo doesnt do it justice. Fantastic scenery. This was the boat we stayed on overnight. In the evening we had too much to drink and was 'karaoking'. Its a shame I cant upload a video I took of Dave and my sister singing "Under the Boardwalk". Its hilarious.

Saigon to Hanoi

Decided to fly to Hanoi after reading someone had tried to smuggle hundreds of snakes on the train. All passengers had to flea from a carriage as the snakes had escaped. Our flight was delayed for 10 hours. We werent happy.

Chu Chi tunnels



Went for at look at the tunnels used by the Viet Cong to hid from the Americans. They have made one a lot bigger for Europeans to go down. I went down but when we had to crawl I beat a hasty retreat. Dave went down a bit further but soon came out. I dont know how they lived down there. This is the entrance to one tunnel.

Mayhem in Saigon

Couldnt even get across the road.
