The last stage of a Superb Trip.

We are back safe and sound to our starting point in Bangkok and what a trip it has been.

Our last stops were in Hanoi and an overnight cruise of Halong Bay in Vietnam... and what a marvellous finale it was... spectacular comes to mind. (Think of your first trip to the Rocky Mountains and then imagine a smaller version of them in a calm bay) We got a little shock treatment when we went from 32 degrees to 14 degrees in Hanoi... we had to do a little shopping for warn clothes... and we still have the same size packs!

I finally got Ce into a kayak and she loved it... although I have given her a new name of "the scooper",  because of the amount of water she was scooping up on me:-)

It has truly been a remarkable experience for us both over here and we would highly recommend it to everyone.

We hope you have enjoyed our blog and we would like to thank everyone for sharing their comments.

Take Care

Signing off on this leg of our travels.
