One of the great benefits of working in Thailand is that our teaching contract allows us 8 weeks of paid vacation per year. Now that school has been out for a month and summer school is almost over, our minds turn back to more adventurous travel. In just a few days we will be leaving Thailand for two weeks in Vietnam. We're goin' to Nam, people!
We fly from Bangkok to Hanoi, which is in the North (see the Vietnam Map link to the right). From Hanoi we will voyage out to Halong Bay where we'll be staying on a house boat while snorkeling and kayaking in the salty sea waters of the Gulf Of Tonkin. Then we'll take an overnight train inland to Sapa, a remote hill station that is home to many indigenous hill tribes. It is in Sapa that we'll be doing some trekking deep into the mountains of Northern Vietnam.
Somewhere around Travis' 29th birthday, we'll be on a train chugga-chugga-choo-chooing down the coast line of Vietnam, headed for some world class diving in the South China Sea. Finally we'll end up in Ho Chi Minh City for a few days of historical exploration before flying back home to Bangkok.
Stay tuned for pictures of our journey to come...
