In transit

Thursday 14th St Valentines day We are in transit from Hoi An to Luang Prapang via Hanoi. Flight up to Hanoi was lovely we had a Frenchman and Aussie pilots with deep syrupy voices. Why is it that pilots always sound sexy but when we landed I had a look and the French captain was stocky and bald so the thing is to never look at them- the fantasy is much better than reality. Hanoi was rainy and cold and everyone was running around in thick coats and black clothes and her we were swanning around in bright summer clothes. The people of Hanoi are much more serious than those in the south. Women walk around with stern looks, moustaches & no makeup where as HCMC women are gorgeous looking, sexy and where high heels that give them altitude sickness. Off to Luang Prabang to visit temples, play with elephants and no doubt take hundreds of photos of monks walking the streets in their golden robes and food bowls - it will be a nice change. We have already done a list of places we want to eat at so more food pics.
