This morning after another excellent breakfast Michael and I walked back to the craft villages for a few more purchases, then out beyond through through some rice fields, another village and back to the road. We walked for an hour and and forty minutes, getting back to the hotel in time a coffee and a short wait for the car and driver.....so we thought!!
Anyone know what type of butterfly this is?
Every house in the village we walked to seemed to have a well
Then the drama began. The driver didn't turn up till almost 2.0pm, two hours late. Mr Doung told him it was unacceptable!!! We packed up and set off at breakneck speed through the village despite us asking him to go steady. As we turned onto the main road he made to overtake on a blind bend, Andrew blew his top and stopped him and phoned the company!!! He drove much steadier after that, but then apparently (I was asleep) he was falling asleep at the wheel about an hour into the journey. Andrew made him stop and we took a break.....more phone calls to the company!! He was more alert after the break and drove fairly safely, then we hit the rush hour traffic in Hanoi. By then Orlo was almost in meltdown!!! We eventually got home at 6.0pm....not the best car journey I have done. I doubt if any of us will stay up to see the New Year in.....
We are having a quiet couple of days here, then we are all off to Hoi An for five days.......to the warmth!
