Day 10 - 16/04/2018 - Manila to Hoi An

We said goodbye to the Philippines for now and were up very early, 4am, for our flight to Vietnam.

4.15am pic, its way too early, still half asleep!!!


The lines at the airport were very long and there was a sign offering very reasonably priced upgrades, feeling tired and unwell we decided to see if there were 4 seats left in business. Kids were very excited for the upgrade.

Isaac and I, row 3, for once he had plenty of leg room.


Sam and Malayah right up the front in row 1.


Flying into Ho Chi Minh



Exchanged our dollars for Vietnamese dong and we are now millionaires!!!!


Our next flight, Ho Chi Minh to Danang

Flying into Danang


Arrived at our hotel and of course the first thing the kids wanted to do was swim in the pool.
 




We walked into the old town for dinner and then wandered around, there were so many people. The lanterns that light up the streets are beautiful.




Will have to try and remember where this place is just in case we need to drop Sam off.





Dinner, this place had been recommended to me by a few different people so we decided to go here our first night. The food was delicious.










Made from coconut leaves.

Today was our final morning in Vietnam before our flight back to the Philippines. Breakfast on the rooftop. Sam and I wore the crocs to breakfast. The markets outside of our hotel were busy this morning. We visited the War remnants museum, I didn't take many photos, there are many graphic images in this museum showing the horrors faced during and in the aftermath of war and it really wasn't that long ago, with side effects from the war impacting people younger than myself. A very heart wrenching place. This is an actual childrens book to give children an understanding of what they should do if they come across a bomb We had just enough time for a brief visit to the palace. Down in the bunker Snacks for the flight. Then it was time for our flight to Manila, the boys had exit row seats, plenty of room for I...
