First day in Vietnam, it's cool as there has been a bit of activity weather wise in the area but fortunately for us the rain has abated and we were able to go for a long walk around Hoan Kiem Lake plenty of exercise!!! Then of course I had a Saturday nap while Bruce watched the AFL Grand Final in the bar down stairs and clocked up quite a bill by Vietnam standards!!! He is enjoying himself now that we have made it here. The trip was long, we left the hotel in Sydney at 7.45 am and went to bed here at about 1.20am Sydney time, we were tired tourists to say the least!! Tonight we are going out for dinner to have our first get together with our touring group which is to be headed by a NZ girl whom I haven't met yet. Glenyss and Graeme arrived this afternoon and had a few drinks with Bruce, it was great to catch up again. There are 14 of us and tomorrow we are going on a cyclo tour around the Old Quarter which should be fun. Lots happening around but wanted to mention a great man drawing in a shop on the road to the lake this morning am hoping to head back there maybe tomorrow, I must remember to get 'stuff' when I see it!
I'm hoping this diary will work as I had a draft entry on our first night which was in Sydney but I can't find it now I guess it will take me a few shots at it to get going and will fill in the details as I go. I hope you can bear with me xxx
