St Andew's return from Halong Bay 'magical' experience


Hi All,
Just a quick blog to let you know how we are going. Resting in the hotel in Hanoi at the moment while we wait for the bus to take us to the train station. We board at around 11pm and should arrive at Danang at around noon tomorrow. Then we will head to Hoi An.
We arrived back from Halong Bay at about 3pm this arvo and went out shopping. Had a great morning kayaking through caves in the Bay. Still, nothing beats the jumping off the boat which we did yesterday. Almost everyone - even Ms. Sugden - jumped from the top deck of our boat!

Then we had dinner at 'Koto' - a famous restaurant run by street kids. Julia Gillard even has her own plaque in the dining area! Everyone is going well but I am sure we all cant wait to be home! We all got so excited yesterday when we got our clean washing back!

Anyway, better be off - Have to re-pack my bag for the train
Until next time, Claire

Don't get lost in the tunnels on Saturday.......I'll be thinking of you down there (and trying not to laugh too much)making your way in the pitch black. Only kidding sweetheart, they have lights in the Chu Chi's in case your torch goes out. Well, I think there are lights down there.Toi se ray vui khi ban nhon duoc tro lai qua. Tinh yeu. Cha, xxx
