Don't remember seeing those ruins in Vietnam
I have mixed feelings about Vietnam. I went there many years ago but had a few unpleasant experiences. I guess I have to go back one day and give it a second chance. I will try to make it to those ruins if I do because I don't remember seeing them last time. /Ake

Ah, those were the days.
Your eloquent prose or is it meanderings in reminise? As one who has camped on northern NSW or Queensland beaches before houses crept down the sand to gobble up the solitude...when only ones friends or a sole beach fisherman would watch the sunrises rise from the surf and waves...Ah, those were the days Meryl. Enjoy it before you can no more.

I love dachshunds!
The only thing better than a view with breakfast, is a view AND a doggie with breakfast :)

Oh Bundi!
Loved this blog and the photos of the palace (we sat on the same garden seat!)... I suppose it's some consolation that the palace hasn't deteriorated too much in five years.

We loved our time in Laos. Thanks for the memories. So much poverty but glad to hear some economic strides are being made.

At what expense?
Always difficult to balance economy, culture and environment....

Chilli-ness
Is the Lao food spicy? I can see a few chillies in the papaya salad, but the noodle soup looks decidedly un-spicy.

You like spicy?
Oh yes! Lao people love their spicy dips and chillies. It is all very fresh though with lots of lemongrass, coriander, basil, lime and so on. More Vietnamese than Thai.

A long time traveller with a father with itchy feet who encouraged me to see all. So glad the pandemic is over! Another long sojourn in Europe this year 2023 with an exciting three weeks in Sri Lanka as the culmination of the trip. Graeme and I travel well together and enjoy exploring some of the unusual and some of the well-trodden sights the world has to offer. Plans for Gino our motorhome to be travelling through Italy, Albania and Montenegro this year interspersed with family events and a 100th birthday party! More on that later. ... full info
