Jo and Hayley's SEA tour

Full moon

VIETNAM | Wednesday, 22 September 2010 | Views [331] | Comments [2]

The evening festivities have continued each evening here in Hoi An and people from all over the provence have been converging in hundreds. We have watched many dragon and lion dances, they are very colourful and entertaining. The young boy we met last year organised to meet us last night by the river and he and his granny took us out on their boat to look at the full moon and set floating candles onto the water, we each made a wish as we did this. The atmosphere is very carnival like and a great time for children. We continue to meet Suong and her family every morning at 7.30 am for coffee and have dinner with them also. The heat of the day has been impossibly hot, so evenings are much more social. After touring the town last night we sat on mats by the river and had sugar-cane juice. Our time here is closing in, and we head back to Hue on the 25th, then onwards to Hanoi. It makes us both sad to think about leaving. Hope all is well at home, Love to all!xxxxx

Things are ok here...The festival sounds fun,the heat sounds hot,Tasmania is still in the same place...lolol You are right about time closing in,it has a habit of doing that,you look forward to something and think that it will never arrive.Next thing you know you are looking down the barrel at the end of it.Just concentrate on making the most of your remaining time in Vietnam,you will have special memories that will last a lifetime.

Yo Jo. Trip has been sounding great, nice sights, people and especially the food. Starting to warm up here, nothing quite like there but balmy compared to how it has been here. Work way crappy,most people pretty over it.Good people pulling up stumps and moving on in increasing numbers, might join them I think.Enjoy your hols whilst you can. Cooee to Foxy for me.
Stay safe,love to all,
Steve
