Arriving in Lisbon

PORTUGAL | Thursday, 1 Nov 2012 | Views [512]

We made it to Portugal! It was a longer trip than expected, but after our first full day in Lison (really after our first few hours in Lisbon) we both attest that it was definitely worth it! Our flight to Madrid wasn't delayed due to Sandy, but it took ... Read more >


The Way Back Home

VIETNAM | Monday, 31 Oct 2011 | Views [666]

We ended our time in Ha Noi nicely. After we left the cafe we decided to take one last stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake. We grabbed one last donut to eat and had a couple of beers by the lakeside - it was a good way to say goodbye. On the way back ... Read more >

This morning we slept in a little later than we have been - the sun rises early and usually we have a window that floods sunlight into our room in the morning. We wanted to see the main sights in Hanoi today so we started out for the Temple of Literature.... Read more >

Ha Noi

VIETNAM | Thursday, 27 Oct 2011 | Views [440]

We are in Ha Noi now. We left Sapa at 5pm on Tuesday as the fog was settling into town. It was a bit scary for a while on the way down to Lao Cai; the driver could only see 5 ft. in front of him, but as we got closer and closer to the bottom the fog ... Read more >

After we left An Bang Beach, we turned the motorbike back in to our hotel and went over to Yaly. Zach tried on his second pair of trousers and while he was paying for his clothes, I tried on the dress. I was a little disappointed at first, but Mary ... Read more >
