I think I’m quite ready for another adventure.    Bilbo Baggins

We’re embarking on the last leg of our journey through Vietnam tomorrow morning at 4:30am.  We leave Nha Trang by train and will travel north to Hanoi, where we meet up with Vicky and Jason early on Thursday morning.  We’re so excited to see them.  Traveling with another couple is always fun and we’re going to make the best of our time together as they won’t be returning to Taiwan next year.

(PS> Range and Jo, we’re going to be doing this with you next year for sure if you’re up for it)

Our train gets in to Hanoi at 4:30 am and we hop on a bus at 8am to travel to Halong City.  From there, we will be taking a three day/2 night cruise around Halong Bay and Cat Ba Island on an old-fashioned junk boat. 

We’re quite sad to be leaving Vietnam as it has been a wonderful trip.  We could easily spend another month here, especially Nha Trang, which we’ve enjoyed immensely.  However, the Central Highlands, Hoi An and Sapa will have to wait until our return.
