First week in Vietnam 🇻🇳 and my senses are still catching up. Hanoi streets buzzing with fast-moving tuk-tuks, horns everywhere, and energy that never seems to slow down.







From the calm, misty waters of Ha Long Bay to the exciting buzz of Hanoi Train Street. Peaceful views one day, coffee by the tracks the next. Vietnam has the best contrasts.






Trying bánh mì in every corner we could find. And when my sister and niece arrived to meet us, we took the Sleeper train to Sapa.



In Sapa, there are a lot of Instagram worthy places to have our photos taken. Fansipan and Moana are two of them.















But my sister and niece’s trip was cut short. We still have one more week to go but they got the news that my brother in Law is not doing ok healthwise so they had to go back home to the Philippines.

Nice photos of Sapa and Halong Bay. Sapa continues to be in my bucket list. Too many places to go to in Vietnam.
Sapa is an awesome place to go to, but just difficult to reach.
I wish I can go. But it’s the time to go back and forth that intimidates me.
Beautiful shots Techie.😘
Thanks Arlene. We are still here in the Philippines but just getting tired with all
the catching up with people and eating out. Haha
You do lead an exciting life, Teresa. I was going to say that peaceful Ha Long Bay would do me nicely, but Sapa looks a lot of fun. Sorry about your b-in-law xx
I should say… that Halong Bay would definitely suit you. And thanks, when I went yesterday to the hospital, I think my BIL’s situation is improving. Finger’s crossed it continues.
Wishing your brother-in-law the best of health!
Thanks for the well wishes. I hope so too. I think he is hanging in there.
Wonderful postcards from your adventure. But I’m so sorry about your brother-in-law. Hope you get positive news soon.
Thanks Margaret…just simple
Improvements day by day.
I am so sorry that your time with your sister was cut short. Praying for your brother-in-law’s health.
Your pics made me smile. I found myself wanting to wave back at you. 😊
I am here waving back at you. Pepper. Haha
Well sometimes life doesn’t go as planned and that’s alright. Thanks.
Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law and your sister and niece. But I hope you bring back lots of interesting photos. The Michelin-stag is something to behold!
Thanks a lot Elke … awesome memories!
I’m sorry to hear about your brother in law’s ill health. But it seems you’re really enjoying the variety that Vietnam has to offer!
Well that’s two sides of the story. Thanks for the well wishes for my B I L.
Sending this to my pals – 6 of us heading to Hanoi next week (assuming we can get a plane to bring us but sure that’s another story!) Wishing your B-in-law well…..
Enjoy Hanoi, Marie. Just be careful in crossing the street. Can’t wait to hear about your adventure.
