A bird’s eye view of the city from Saigon Sheraton. A very enjoyable happy hour on the terrace at sunset (from 4 to 7 pm) – two for one cocktails and beers.
Goodbye China! It’s been real. More than a month (if you count 5 days in Beijing). Amazing country. But time for us to go explore the wonders of Southeast Asia. Starting with Bangkok, Thailand. (As an aside — SriLankan = awesome).
A fishing village by the Mui Ne beach in Vietnam. Incredibly picturesque. Also, how cool are the round fishing boats used by Vietnamese fishermen? Harder to steer, but less likely to tip over. You win some, you lose some…Day 2 of our easy rider tour!
We take the “bus” (aka minivan) from Ha Tien to Can Tho — the supposedly 5 hour ride is more like 6, with frequent pit stops to drop off and pick up passengers and goods. Though long, and short on comfort, there is quite interesting scenery as the bus passes through small settlements and towns…
A happy hour in Kunming, China – a necessary luxury sometimes.
