Flying Update From North Vietnam

Friday, October 28th, 2005

We’ve crash landed in Hanoi, and without a moment to catch our breath we’ve booked ourselves to Cats Ba Island, Halong Bay. From there I plan to hire a boat to take me to some rocks to climb, and we’ll likely enjoy a bit of beach and scenery. I hope the weather holds out.

Not a massive amount has happened since our last update but we will give you the full details plus watch this space for the Hoi An Catwalk! With me and Laura strutting our stuff and showing off our latest clothes that we had made up and have now sent home (so very sad to see them go, now we want to go home so we can wear them all!).

It’s late and we have yet another early start tomorrow. No doubt there will be Internet access on the island so we should be able to update the website within the next few days, but if we can’t then we’ll do so as soon as we get back to Hanoi.

Love to all,
Rupert and Laura x
