Six weeks and one day in Vietnam and so many highlights
- Swimming in the sea in the middle of a storm in Phu Quoc, warm choppy water and waves breaking on you, rain pelting down hurting your skin and bouncing off the waves whilst looking out on angry stormy skies.
- Ha Long Bay
- Stunning views in Sapa
- Amazing people in HCMC (and staying up till sunrise)
- Swimming in rivers and caves in Phong Nha
- Conversations with insightful and wise people (person) that can articulate how you feel better than you can think it.
- Somehow ordering street food without speaking Vietnamese and ending up with the most delicious meal of the trip.
- Riding on the back of a motorbike through jungle roads and central highlands
- Sunrise on the Mekong & my last sunset in Vietnam.
- Laying on the beach after dark watching an electrical storm out to sea.
- Meeting the right people at the right time. Having a travel low, then walking into a cafe and starting a conversation with someone who happens to be in a similar low and both of you walking out with a smile on your face and plans to meet later in the trip. And realising if you don't have the lows you don't notice the highs.
- Happy smiling faces and children always waving as you pass.
