Last Night in Vietnam and i havent tried dog yet!

Just a quick update to save my pictures of trekking in Sapa. We stayed in a village with the Mong tribe, trekking for 12km up and down hills at 1000ft above sea level. It was tough going, especially as the tribe tried to sell us stuff all the way through. They may be short but they sure are persistant, i came away with a pair of tin earings and a wire bracelet with bells on it just to shut those Mongs up!

Its raining here and we just went to see Ho Chi Min's dead body, so its been a fitting end to a strange country!

This time tomorrow i'll be touching down in Oz for stage 3 of my trip so will be off the radar in the outback for a couple of weeks. If you dont hear anything after 2 weeks, assume the shark cage dive didnt go according to plan.............

That's a brilliant pic sis - you crack me up! They're probably a wise, ancient civilization and you just take the piss. Very funny though, made my day. Everyone including your nephew still missing you. Have an awesome time in Oz - no cow intenstines on the menu there!
