Xin Chau Lyn Oi!!!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with me. There were so many memorable moments...... the people we met whose lives touched us, sometimes only fleetingly but touched us nevertheless... the sights we saw and didn't see (Sapa).... the tears we cried...... the laughter we shared.....I cannot believe that three months has gone so fast and yet, at times, it went slowly.....I will miss our morning breakfasts on the verandah of the second floor at Hoang Trinh watching the world go by while sipping on our Vietnamese coffee...the musical garbage truck and the little Pho lady who wad as regular as clockwork... the funeral processions.....the beautiful sunsets we watched from there of an evening.....the Confucius Temple that doubled as a rice drying field /martial Arts Dojo / community meeting hall ....... our Friday nights at Treats / retreats with Kwah's laughter echoing through the cafe and out onto the streets.....the unforgiving heat and the endless rain.......the floods and the heartache that went with it....Sundays at Dai Loc Orphanage and the smiling faces of each and every child there....the stories they told us........my friend Pat the rat (a regular when I was home).... The wonderful staff at Fawlty Towers....Madam An who made us (as did they all) feel very special and privileged.... the amazing guests we met...the movie maker from Holland...the sculpture from Switzerland... the young American who lost his passport and all his worldly possessions....Xuan the tailoress and Mr Xuan ..... our nights wandering the streets of Hoi An and An Hoi with it's beautiful lanterns dangling from buildings that are so quaint and trying to capture the reflections n the river with a photo.... we never tired of any of it...... the lantern making...the pottery village... Anh Bung Beach...... Sapa....the very moving chanting of the Zow and Black Hmong people in the catholic church on the Sapa hill....the elephant waterfall....My Son......escaping a typhoon on a plane..... river cruises with Camembert cheese and coke....HCM.....train rides on the Tulico Express.... White Rose dinners....homemade Verde ice creams by the river on hot balmy nights.....the gallons of water and coke...the french fries with mayonnaise.... the prawn dishes where prawns are cooked and eaten shells and all.....Tu An restaurant..... the Cargo Club.....paraplegic cats.... Le Plage and The End of the World....motorbike rides up mountains...we climbed them together..... THANK YOU for making the sad times bearable and the good times memorable. Bill and Ted's excellent adventure is finally over........ what an adventure!!!
