A Post At Last!

Apologies to Rich, and anyone else who may have been looking for updates to this blog! We really did expect to have more time on our hands. It can only really be good that the first two months of retirement have kept us so occupied.

Can't believe we have just one more full day in Vietnam, and apart from 4 flights and a few days stopover in Dubai, the Asia holiday is almost over. We will soon be back to reality and wondering where we put those warm clothes.

It has been a great holiday. Not a lot of relaxation although having said that I am onto my 4th book... (Reading not writing.)
It is the start of the rainy season in South East Asia, and we arrived just after some really wet weather with severe flooding. But the last week has seen some showers and sunshine. Sunday has seen blue skies all day and we took the opportunity to have a day on the beach. It was a beach bordered with Palm trees, and soft golden sand. We found somewhere quiet to have lunch beside the beach. It was perfect.

Although the sea was very rough, and strong rip currents, I had a quick jump around in the surf. A bit like I remember as a teenager at Gwithian beach but with palm trees and warm water.

More to come - that's a promise.
