So Halong!

I've had two days in Hanoi now, an unbelievable city, full of noise, colour, noise, people, and more noise. But it's fantastic to walk around and be ignored by locals going about their business - a bit of a home from home.

Off on a boat trip around Halong Bay for 3 days shortly, so I'll post more when I get back. I just have one question, has there been some snow in London or something?

Fred - Just spoke to mum and Barbara and Alastair and they told me all about your trip. Get yourself down to Halong Bay, grab a canoe and get out and visit one of the shark farms! Bloody Marvelous. Alessia and I spent a month treking through Vietnam and Cambodia about a year and a half ago and loved it. North of Hanoi there's also a great little village called Sapa - very chic, if you can believe that in Vietnam!
Very jealous of your trip - can't wait to get on the road again, but it's probably going to have to wait until this summer before I can pull off another major expedition.
take care, enjoy. drop me a line on brian.ashby@sab-media.com if you get a chance.
cheers
