Hey Guys,

Just as we were settling into the madness of Hanoi were off again this time for four days R&R (hopefully) in Halong bay. This includes two nights onboard a junk boat with a bit of fishing and paddling (paddy hope your impressed!!). Had a great day today in the old quarter of Hanoi and since Conor got his cheap haircut I decided to get a lovely pedicure for 4euro only no street corner involved!! Wont be in touch for the next few days till we get back to Hanoi but we did manage to get some pics up on flikr if you hit the link under blogroll.

The shopping here is great it’s a pity I can’t get anything with only one bag and a long way to go yet, which anyone who knows me is torture!! Every street you turn down sells something different Bamboo street, shoe street, clothes street, even electrical street (Rory you would be impressed!) you get the idea.

Headin off now to see what else we can find, will write again as soon as I can.

Love, Claire
