Summer 2011

9July

Here at last! We're in our hotel after a scary taxi journey from the airport. Vietnam traffic is crazy - nobody follows any rules and there are bikes and scooters everywhere! Until you've seen whole families on a scooter, you can't imagine it for yourself - it's chaos!

14 July

We spent most of today wandering around the market in Hoi An. The highlight of the day was the evening because it was the Lantern Festival. On the 14th of each month, all of the lights in the Ancient Town are turned off and lanterns are lit in the streets. Floating lanterns are also released into the river as a way to remember lost relatives.

18 July

Today we visited the Forbidden City at Hue. We drove to Hue by car and were then taken up the river to the Ancient Pagoda on a boat. We saw the burial site of one of Vietnam's last Emperors, who spent a fortune on his own tomb. It took 10,000 people over eleven years to complete because the architecture is so complex - incredible.

23 July

We arrived in Thailand on Thursday and today we headed by speedboat for the island of Phi Phi where the movie The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed. At Maya Bay, we had a breathtaking view of the green cliffs rising out of the water like skyscrapers - amazing! The effect was spoilt by the hundreds of boats maneuvering round each other to let their cargo of tourists out onto the beach. Our next stop was Monkey Beach, home to monkeys who are addicted to junk food. In the afternoon we did a bit of snorkelling and saw thousands of colourful fish - at least that part of the day was peaceful.

31 July

Home again after a long, long flight and a great holiday. At least Ella was pleased to see us. She came running up to us wagging her tail furiously when we opened the door! Now it's time to unpack and get ready to face reality again ... and plan our next holiday!
