Err. Well, this is embarrassing. I've not blogged since forever, not finished the posts about VietNam, and it's almost a year since we went there already. OK. Skip to the chase. I've not died. No one's died. Life just got .... busy, I got distracted, there were a multitude of other things to do, which is not an excuse, just a reason. Anyhoo, as they say. Where, exactly, where we?
We left our sponsored child, and drove back to Hanoi. The next day we packed again, got into the minibus and were on our way for a 4 hour drive to the World Heritage Site of Ha Long Bay. This long journey was broken up with a half-way comfort stop for Services which as well as toilets and food, had a full shopping experience, including (to our bewilderment) an opportunity to buy your marble statuary.

| There was clothing, crockery, jewellery, nik naks, art, kitchenware, food, postcards and more.... |
 |
| The rate to ship to Oxford = £96. Actually seems quite reasonable.... |
 |
| I'm fairly sure we weren't supposed to take photos of the pieces on display... but sometimes you've just got to bend the rules a little... |
We resisted the urge to buy, got back on the minibus, and passed through a fairly industrial zone,
then we passed through more rice fields. We stopped the minibus in order to take photos. I like the man with the dual watering cans.

| LUSH! |

We then arrived at the departure point for Ha Long Bay.
We were not the only ones....
More next time. Kat.
