Hoi Ann is amazing, actually amazing. If you like shopping then this is definately the place to be. We've spent the past 4 days in various tailors and shoe makers, having fittings and re-fittings (sometimes re-re-fittings) and this is the final result. 3 pairs of boots, 3 dresses, 2 winter coats and 1 skirt is the final result of 4 days of shopping, planning and changing your mind/colour/style/shape etc. Phew, it's been a hard slog (haha). But now we are off to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam for a brief stopover before spending some time on a junk boat in Halong Bay and a mountain village visit to Sapa before flying to China in 12 days. Eeeeeeek. It's flying by now, I cannot believe that tomorrow is December 1st. We've barred ourselves from singing any christmas songs until then (i've definately got a few stored up) and it really doesn't feel like we're on the cusp of December, let along the end of 2010. I know the weather in England is bad, although snow is surely better than rain? Yes. Right off now for a "comfy" 16 hour bus to Hanoi......

I am confused (easily done!) does this boat trip include the desert island you mentioned in your last e-mail or have plans changed?
