Went to Le Pub again last night and met a girl from the Mull of Kintyre! Lewie and Tess got their usual warm welcome and celeb treatment - the staff randomly hand out shots of weird spirit/fruit juice mixes to the customers, last night they made two non alcoholic ones for the kids and Lewie's pal took him into the kitchen to serve up their ce cream.
Went to the Museum of Ethnology today which is all about the ethnic tribes of Vietnam. Saw some amazing houses - long house made of bamboo, tall house made of wood and leaves. A group of Vietmanese teenagers took photos with me - couldn't quite understand them but the jist seemed to be that I was massive compared to them!!
Wandered around old quarter and bought flip flops, some silk paintings and a traditional silk outfit for Tess which she then wore all afternoon much to the delight of the locals! Just back at the hotel waiting on our lift to the train station to get overnight train to Sapa for our homestay. Met another Aussie couple last night who are getting same train and french canadian girls also going to be on it. Not sure how we will cope without our air con and fridge! Have been told Sapa is much cooler than Hanoi but I'm guessing that really means its only about 30 degrees! Got 5 hour trek at 6am tomorrow morning...should be interesting with Tess!

the dislexsic you have found a land that you are tall in! and where the 3 little pigs really did build houses, sounds like its shaping up to be an interesting 'trip'.
