    These are traditional boats used by the local fishermen. I saw similar style boats in India.: by doherty1957, Views[606]
         		 This was a little square of houses that seemed cute, very French for some reason. Do you like the truck?: by doherty1957, Views[539]
         		 Me on the lake in front of the white sand dunes. I am a handsome brute, aren't I?: by doherty1957, Views[488]
         		 There was a kind of cavernous trail, the rock made of the same stuff as that at the side of the enchanted river. Ask a geologist why it's like that, he will know (apologies to lady geologists but sometimes I am just sexist): by doherty1957, Views[631]
         		 Two of the kids, guides, who took me along the enchanted river. This place is a very shallow river with a sand bed. Very beautiful.: by doherty1957, Views[702]
     
    There's me on the enchanted river. See, I was there.: by doherty1957, Views[543]
         		 There were 4 kids trailing me at 1 point. They were typically rowdy boys but they were polite and although they showed bravado they were really quite gentle with each other: by doherty1957, Views[639]
         		 This is that official building again with the statue of Ho Chi Minh which is outside it. Nice lad was Minh: by doherty1957, Views[676]
         		 This is....errr, I can't remember but it's an official building like a town hall or something in the centre of Saigon: by doherty1957, Views[768]
         		 An American plane at the war museum: by doherty1957, Views[768]
     
    Paintings by Vietnamese children to demonstrate what they thought of war and how they celebrate peace: by doherty1957, Views[718]

         		 A close up of one the the children's paintings about peace.: by doherty1957, Views[1129]
         		 Another shot of the blouses worn by the girls shot in the back by US soldiers: by doherty1957, Views[769]
         		 A blouse taken from a Vietnamese child shot in the back by an American soldier. Chilling: by doherty1957, Views[870]
     
    This is the prison cells, also known as the tiger cell if my memory serves me correctly, in which the south Vietnamese kept the captured Vietcong. Hot and cramped with grills for roofs do that the guards could always keep an eye on them they were hell holes.: by doherty1957, Views[17908]
         		 Thy like their motorbikes, a few years ago it was bicycles. The traffic is hoorendous and if wait for a break in traffic you will never get across the street. However, they don't want to kill you and if you venture forth you will always make it across the street....well, I did.: by doherty1957, Views[1565]
         		 The opera house in Saigon. Rather pleasant, what?: by doherty1957, Views[952]
         		 Who's that handsome man outside the opera house?: by doherty1957, Views[1105]
         		 The bar girls in the Lucky bar admiring my stomach! : by doherty1957, Views[9370]
     
    The Lucky bars girls behind the bar: by doherty1957, Views[3569]
         		 The limestone peaks of Halong Bay are in the background of this shot. : by lolo, Views[523]
         		 Posing with the dragon head on our boat.: by lolo, Views[574]
         		 Hannah and I, bundled up against the cold, on the boat in Halong Bay.: by lolo, Views[622]
         		 Climbing the steep stairs up from our boat to the caves, I stopped to take a picture of the Bay far below.: by lolo, Views[643]
     
    Hannah and I outside of the caves...Halong Bay stretches out beneath us.: by lolo, Views[605]
         		 Our boat stopped so we could explore some amazing, other-worldly caves ~ all lit up with spotlights and such. Walking back to the boat after, we were assaulted by the sales pitches of numerous vendors, who had docked along the pier and were selling everything from oranges to oreos.: by lolo, Views[606]
         		 Kayaking in Halong Bay with Hannah. The only photo I have of this event ~ I'm hoping Hannah will send some of hers to me. My battery died RIGHT as we got in the kayak. ):: by lolo, Views[558]
         		 Dinner ~ mmmmm, WINE ~ on the boat with Claire and Brendon. MOM ~ fyi ~ this is the couple I fwd. the cookie recipe to! : by lolo, Views[713]
         		 Bike riding on Cat Ba. The roads were steep ~ to the point where we often had to walk our bikes up the hills.....honestly. The blame probably lies equally shared between the crappy bikes, the awful shape we're in, and the hills themselves. Ah well. It was gorgeous though ~ all misty peaks and mountain goats and emerald water.: by lolo, Views[785]
     
    Also on Cat Ba Island ~ these kids were chucking business cards over the railing, and watching them flutter into the sea. Hannah and I figured they'd been paid to distribute the flyers, and then decided just to dump them. Ha.: by lolo, Views[752]
         		 On Cat Ba Island ~ just goofing off and killing time before dinner. : by lolo, Views[672]
         		 Just getting ready to board our boat ~ with a huge jar of cashews and plans to drink a few bottles of wine onboard, we're pretty excited.: by lolo, Views[975]
         		 Hannah and the notorious Emma ~ obviously, PRE-psychotic scamming episode.: by lolo, Views[455]
         		 One of the many coats I had made in Hoi An ~ this was the first one to be finished, and has the dubious distinction of being my only long-sleeved article of clothing at this point in time. Yay purple...or, is it aubergine...???: by lolo, Views[563]
     
    Palm trees reflected in the river that runs alongside Hoi An. Although it was a rainy day, it was still gorgeous out. I only wish I hadn't left my only hoodie in Nha Trang!: by lolo, Views[598]
         		 Yup. More palm trees, more river, more rainy days in Hoi An.: by lolo, Views[582]
         		 Hannah. Feeling about the same as I am, concerning the rain. And she HAS a hoodie! Lucky, lucky. : by lolo, Views[565]
         		 Just heading out, into the rain, in a stupid tank top. I HATED having no hoodie in Hoi An! However, that said ~ the town was really cool to wander around in. Here I am in an alley. Cooler than it sounds...promise.: by lolo, Views[576]
         		 An old woman walks her bike along the streets of Hoi An.: by lolo, Views[523]
     
    Colourful Vietnamese flags line the historic streets of Hoi An.: by lolo, Views[537]
         		 The entire town was getting ready for their lunar New Years celebration when Hannah and I arrived. This meant flags and lanterns everywhere, huge crowds, and a general air of celebratory giddiness.: by lolo, Views[702]
         		 Along the riverbank in Hoi An. This is where we liked to wander ~ when we weren't otherwise occupied with fittings, selecting fabrics, and generally spending WAY too much money....: by lolo, Views[598]
         		 A Vietnamese woman displays her fresh veggies for sale along the town market lane ~ such a colourful street.: by lolo, Views[656]
         		 Hannah and I ~ we're running on no sleep, having stayed up all night to ensure we made the 5am bus to the My Son Cham ruins outside of Hoi An. Pretty soon after this shot was taken, it started to rain...a STELLAR day. : by lolo, Views[624]
     
    One of the pathways leading around the Cham ruins at My Son. You can see what extreme sleep deprivation can do to a person!!: by lolo, Views[645]
         		 Hannah and I aboard a crazy jeep ride through the My Son temple ruin complex ~ apparently, this service is provided when the torrential rains start, haha.: by lolo, Views[641]
         		 Ho Chi Minh - Reunification Palace, Ho Chi Minh City: by dannygoesdiving, Views[4637]
         		 Hoi An - street life: by dannygoesdiving, Views[593]
