places

I have a favourite place
Well, I have several
But HaLong Bay ranks right up there near number 1

I traveled to sweet Ben in Jan 2009 so it was low season in Northern Vietnam.
It was cold
For Vietnam.
Like 65.
Perfect for me.

And we were practically alone in the bay.

With the locals.

Ben and mama and Auntie Kristen and a few other winter travellers.

Loved it

Next week a soon to be adoptive mama is travelling for her sweet Sophie.
Right straight to my favourite place.

Hope she loves it as much as I did.
