en-VY 07 - Here Come The Photos

Ok we're finally back in Vietnam and it isn't exactly tropicale here because we've been up in Sapa for the past 3 days. The weather was brilliant on the 1st day but the latter 2 have been extremely foggy. We managed to squeeze in a trek to Cat Cat Village this morning and were glad that abundant photographic opportunities presented themselves.

We left China with mixed feelings, but the main aim of this entry is to finally to put a 'face' to what we have described thus far. So here are some photos (amateurish... I know but we haven't really got access to photoshop)...

The 3 of us en route to Hoi An from Saigon. A true reflection of what our journey was purely about - the long and (extremely) winding road...

Hoi An is a darling, like I've mentioned.

The thing I love about Hoi An is the ubiquitous silk lanterns for USD2 only! I simply couldn't resist...

At the gates of Hue's Imperial Enclosure within the citadel.

The many roadside florists in Hanoi's Old Quarter.

Brothers in Islam - celebrating Aidiladha in Kunming.

The adorable Ma Si Yi.

Deep in thought at Yunnan University.

Down memory lane - still at Yunnan University.

Naxi cat - Lijiang.

Soaking up the atmosphere in old Lijiang.

Lounging in Zhongdian.

Flying high - Feilai Si at our very own Shangri-La - Deqin.

Basking in that 'Himalayas' feeling with Meilixue Shan in the background - Deqin.

Of 'blessings' and charity - monks from the Red Hat Sect.
