Hi Everyone

Well we have arrived in Vietnam. We got here about 7 last night and drove into chaos - well chaos to me anyway. Apparently it was quiet here last night but I have never seen so many scooters in all my life. Nothing to see a family of four travelling along on a scooter. We went for a stroll last night after reaching our hotel and after an hour I needed to go back to the hotel for a bex and a lie down - the sights and sounds were a little overwhelming. I can sense we are going to love this place though - the people are amazing - spent some time last night talking to a guy who works in our hotel - he was lovely - I did get a little bit worried when he told us that a very important woman in government stayed here and what a lovely woman she was. I was terrified he was going to say it was Amanda V or something. It turned out to be the mayor of Melbourne. Well I better be off - Paul has just come in to tell me that he has lined up lunch and tea for us with some people - who knows. I am adding some photos from Hong Kong here as can use my camera in the computer here. One is of Paul on New Years Eve looking very tipsy - he actually fell asleep as soon as he fell on the bed that night. Love to you all. xo
