After a flight to Hanoi we spent our last few days on the go from morning till night.... we were getting used to this lifestyle. The streets of Hanoi bustled with millions of motor cycles weaving in amongst the cars,busses and trucks .... and using our new skills of road crossing we ventured out to see the street life.

Keeping this travel blog enables me to reflect and record my journeys as well as communicate with my family and friends. I shouldn't be amazed me that complete strangers in this travel community will want to read about what I am up to as they are a great bunch of folk. I have swapped my home and hospitality for many years now and always I have met such wonderful open, generous and friendly people.

Don't let the grass grow under you feet. ... full info

At trip's end
Thanks for sharing your Cambodia and Vietnam trip with us - I've really enjoyed following along for the ride! I had to laugh when you mentioned your newly acquired road crossing skills...on our first morning in Vietnam, we kept walking around the block as we just couldn't cross the road (until some locals took pity on us and shepherded us across). Safe travels and looking forward to your next adventure :)

On my wishlist but still to do Lynne. Ticked off on your list so good on you. And if you had not discovered pho before...something to look for at home to remember your fantastic trip by.

Nice hat. Your terrific blog provided us some great memories. Loved following along on this trip. Too many horns in Vietnam. So glad you made it to the water puppets. We truly enjoyed that cultural experience.
