Just a couple of pictures of Halong Bay which Dom has shown me how to upload (not that I could do it again by myself if I had to). Dom arrived safely and has spent the first day learning how to not buy things on the street from peddlers and visiting the Saigon Zoo and various markets. He'll report when we get back from the gun palace tomorrow...
Not a bad view from the boat's bedroom window 
Ten "guests" on this boat with almost as many staff. Jules and I jumped off the top into the water - a local challenge. Accommodation was a largish room with an en-suite. Two nights accommodation (one on the boat and another in a hotel on one of the islands) and three days of meals, transfers and transport to and from Hanoi cost $70 per person. Don't know how they do it... 
Me in my Emerald Secondary College shirt which was too big for Nicholas to wear with Julia in Halong Bay.

Don't you teach economic Dad? It's called "relative wealth" and you have it in Vietnam. By the way, I hate you all for leaving me in Melbourne. It's so cold that in a desperate attempt to keep warm I've started drinking that bottle of Queen Adelaide sparkling that was (unsurprisingly) left over after my party. And Bonnie smells. I hope you're having fun! Good job working out how to post pictures Dom. Keep them coming.
Nick and i are the only ones not going overseas. Is it because we are lazy and hopeless with money or is there a wider conspiracy. Photos look great. Be careful with the ak and have fun!
The temp in Armidale ranged from -2 to 7 today. To say that I am really jealous is an understatement. More photo's please!
