My first bout of food poisioning in Vietnam

Not exactly a wonderful occasion to mark ;-) but nonetheless i've survived.. so it seems.

Yingzi, Fui Kien and I have returned from our excursion to Ha Long Bay today. The junk boat meandered around the islands and limestone grottoes - there are 3,000 islands in total! Its the low season now so we have managed to avoid most of the other boats and sailed in relative peace and tranquility.

Anyway, i think it was the dinner that i had on the boat that caused the food poisoning so by the next morning, i was pretty glad to get off the boat and survive a bumpy 3 hour bus journey to get from Ha Long city back to Hanoi! What a shame though - it was really relaxing on the boat!

Not sure why i can't post pix now so i'll try again later.
