Two days in a row – seriously thinking I may actually become a real 'blogger.'
Pfft me thinks not. Especially as it has taken me ten minutes to find the 'add a new entry' button.
Flights to Hanoi were booked a few weeks ago (Step 1), multiple attempts at flirting with the operator may have gotten me a few laughs n giggles from his end, but an upgrade it did not…..fail on my part. Although I think Fiona got a bit of a laugh at ...

Still having a great time
... on the roads as they say in places the roads are only 6ft wide. It was great we even got lost on the wrong road so turned Navman on and he found us the way out. The next day more driving around to places where not all that many people go especially over passes.
