Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Well ave five days left of our jaunt east if skegness and it has been a real eye opener.
Landed in Hanoi and nearly got flattened by a scooter when crossing the first road. Hanoi has 1 million scooters. Everyone uses both sides of the road to go in both directions. The white lines are a waste of paint. If the roads full then use the pavement. A quick look on Google shows 15,000 are killed on the roads in Vietnam every year.
Hanoi is mental but has a certain charm about it. The people arw very friendly.
Observations.
Missis T does not want a 3 -4 ft crocodile bringing home that is stuffed in a begging position. Nor does she want a scorpion or tarantula.
The food is gorgeous and very cheap but neither of us fancy doing a bushtucker trial.
A dog looks a lot bigger when spread on a bbq. We dont want any of that either.
Halong bay is gorgeous and we spent an excellent night on a Junk with a great couple from New Zealand and a guy from Taiwan watching a night of thunder and lightning.
Cambodia. Cheapeat place i have been in the world. Humbling seeing a tuk tuk driver nigh on doin cartwheels for a dollar tip. The temples are just unbelievable. They are massive. Could start a thread on them alone. Last night travelled back to hotel in tuk tuk in rain of biblical proportions. We laughed our heads off.
Hoi an. Were now there and a belly full of the finest food and too many beers ( and cocktails) is £25. Hoi an is lovely but the litter just bogs you off. A lick of paint to the town would transform the place.
Went to get measured for a made to measure double breasted waistcoat yesterday. The woman in the shop said " it is my job to tell you, you are fat and you will look fatter". Cheers me duck. No wonder your shop is empty.
Loving it but. Theres no chance i will be playing golf at nearly £200.
Read the local Vietnam golf mag here. Safe to say that Golf monthly has nowt to fear. But there looked to be a very good piece on kids golf.
See ya all soon
