Vietnam 2002

In June of last year we visited Vietnam as part of a tour of Indochina. These pages outline places we visited, hotels we stayed at and restaurants we ate in.
Our trip took us from Halong Bay in the north to the Mekong Delta of the south.
Overall, I would have to say we had a fantastic holiday. The sights were great, the people amazingly friendly and the food was simply wonderful.
If you are not sure whether to include Vietnam in your trip or not take a look at my pages and convince yourself.

    I grew up in Vietnam but I come back often. I'd never known any issues in photography that caused people to get upset. I know there are nasty vendors who had a bad day and vent on you/anybody...but not to tourists in general. Regards.
