Suresh Finally got to see your photos! I am glad you didn't forget the memory card..

Neil our favourite rice dish - chicken rice in clay pot....

Neil Hi All thanks for all the messages... cannot believe that this holiday has gone so quickly... one more night in Danang and then a flight to Saigon (or Ho Chi Min)...

Alison Beautiful pics, all of u look happy and relaxed. Well the girls are but Dad kinda looks tired - given all the carrying and climbing going on ;-). The place looks amazing, I guess the food is too. I love Vietnamese food. Do they have roadside food stalls (like India) would like to see come pics. Neil love the pics........ keep them coming. Karen, you are looking so relaxed, it must be the workout u are getting over there. Keep enjoying yourselves and thanks for taking us also on your journey :-)

Belinda The girls look fabulous! True Aussie beach chics! Where's your bikini Karen? Are those FRESH Rambutans in the fruit baskets (photo of ladies in Hoi An)? Oh yum!!!! We are well and in the midst of a heatwave (41 deg C on Saturday). Perfect beach and pool weather!! Too hot for Melbournians but perfect for us Sydneysiders! Gees Craig all that talk of food makes me crave your mum's chicken briyani and cutlets and onion curry and egg vindaloo and masala chops and the list goes on!!!! Oh Aunty, when are you coming to Sydney next?

Michelle Hi guys - looks like you are having an amazing time. Great shots...the girls are very photogenic!! I'm jealous. It's cold and grey in Melbourne today.

Karen salisbury That's where I was going with that Craig.

Craig Karen, now's the time to make your play, hope to see you return with a herd of buffalo, motorbikes for the family and swap the sticky rice with some biryani.

Karen salisbury Interesting fact about Vietnamese culture.dowry is paid by the boys family and the price is set according to how beautiful the girl is.basic dowry consits of a buffalo,motorbike,couple f chickens,pigs and a few kilograms of sticky rice.
