CatBa

Arrived to a wet Hanoi from the overnight train from Sapa.  Lots of water around and all the way to Haiphong very wet and the sea on the Haiphong side a sludge brown colour.  Yet arrived in CatBa to blue skies and and lovely weather and remarkably they have missed all the bad weather.  For the past week it has been blue skies and sunshine and perfect weather.  Even the sea crystal clear even if at low tide someone seems to have stolen the water – probably all in Hanoi !.

They even have just finally put in a ATM machine, just a shame all I have is rapidly depreciating pounds in my account which seem to be worth less against the dong as everyday goes by.  But given the building going on here – and generally in Vietnam –  there is no hint of a global slowdown and everyone seems very happy with business.  And I am sure the unbrella business has had a great year.
