#15-NORTH VIETNAM HOLIDAY I left Korea 28th September 2008, for a quick holiday in North Vietnam before going home. I was unsure if I would be ready for it or not, since I knew it would be more intense than Korea. I also only planned to spend my ‘laid-back’ two weeks(?) around the north of Vietnam only.

This brings back great memories!
Hi John! Wonderful photos and such great memories it brought back for me although my trip was 10yrs ago. Seems you did such a lot in just 2 weeks! Also noticed you've rid yourself of your "scary" beard! Are you back in Oz now? I'm still on the move. Currently in Zorneding in Southern Germany visiting old travel buddies. See you when I get back home! ie if you're still there!

Hi,
Yes, back home and 'updating my home'. I am still taking a while to settle back into the routine of Oz. I shaved off beard in Korea, because everyone said i would look younger. The next day, went to buy movie ticket and they asked me if i was over 65 annd did I want a pensioner discount!!- so much for that....Good luck with future travels. I am happy for a short break.

Fascinating John. I have never bothered with some of these new methods, and putting your experiences up for all to see is a splendid idea. Well done Cheers Jake See you Friday

Yes, all tombs are not named correctly. I go a bit slack; too many captions of too many photos. maybe one day i will fix it up. Good luck on your third visit; well worth it!
