Same Same, But Better!

Good Morning (and Farewell) Vietnam!

After a rough start, Vietnam has turned it on in its final days! We have just spent the past 2 days floating around in beautiful Halong Bay aboard what the Vietnamese affectionately refer to as a 'Junk'. To modern day Australians this 'junk' would also be know as a cruise ship! For the bargain price of $35 we spent two amazing days and one night on board. We were also treated to kayaking, cave exploration and more food than we have eaten in the ENTIRE trip! The highlight of the voyage would have to be the night spent aboard; when after dinner our guides whipped out a karaoke machine! Together, we did a lovely take on Olivia Newton-John and John Travoltas 'You're the One that I want'. While Bec did a version of Piano Man (with a shout out to young A'sy) that would have bought tears to his eyes!

Tonight we wandered around the Old Quarter Area of Hanoi, treated ourselves to some pretty amazing fresh spring rolls and ended with a performance at the Water Puppetry Theatre! A VERY nice (cultural) way to cap off our rather rocky visit to Vietnam! Tomorrow we are on a flight over to very expensive Hong Kong. Excited to be starting in a new country but sad that now we are about half way through our trip!

Hope you are all well
Love Bec and J.

PS - Happy Birthdays need to go out to Carly (28th) and Keeylann (1st). Hope you both had wonderfully wonderful days! xoxo

What’s this young A’sy business don’t for get I’m older then you two.

Good to see you take my advice about signing a song you know the words to and the crowd like, better then miming.

Shan Helier was in town last weekend so we caught up and had a bbq and beers then watched the footy, up her visiting his brother.

Enjoy, keep well beware of Hong Kong smog.

You lot can't complain now about my singing, remember the embarrassment I caused you when I sang.
The HK smog is just humidity so say the Chinese Olympic Committee.
Enjoy the Chinese delicacys before you are locked into baked beans and chips.
