We had a full day today! After a very nice breakfast at the hotel (probably the nicest breakfast buffet so far), we met the group at 9 am. Susan was feeling much better today and seems to be over her stomach bug. It was a rainy morning, and unlike other days, it has rained on and off all day.

I love the picture of Susan with the fortune teller. The motorbike ride must have been pretty exciting.

Just another comment that I meant to post the other day and that was regarding the numerous motor bikes you have pictures. When I was in Hengelo in the Netherlands some years ago we noticed the hundreds of bicycles at 5 o'clock - hardly a
car in sight. As it was unusual for us we took some photos. Next day that the plant they were laughing about these crazy Canadians taking pictures of bicycles.

Hi Derek, The statue is called the "Bodhisativa of Mercy" and is the highest statue in Vietnam. It is 17 metres in diameter, and has 17 floors, and each floor worships a different Buddha.
