Photos from Vietnam

Amongst other things, Vietnam is famous for coffee. This is a photo of sleeping civets. They eat the coffee beans then poop them out.

Apparently, civet poop coffee is considered a delicacy. I wasn’t much of a coffee drinker back then so I didn’t try it.

While in Dalat I went on a motorbike tour which was sold to me as I got off the bus. I’m not a massive fan of tours, but this was a solo tour. Just me on the back of the bike with the guide. This photo is just one of the many scenic views from that tour.

This photo is a Hellcat plane wreckage taken at the ​​Vietnam Military History Museum in Hanoi. There is a lot to see for war history buffs in Vietnam. It was a very hard history for the Vietnamese.

Here is a typical back street in Hue. I love walking backstreets - but only during the day in areas I feel safe.

There are statues of Buddha and temples galore in Vietnam. This bell is in Nha Trang on the stairway to see a big Buddha statue. You stick your head in it and then a monk dongs it. I'm not sure how to describe the experience, but if you get the chance, do it.

I believe this is us floating down the Mekong river, or perhaps a channel connecting to it. It was part of a tour to the Cu Chi tunnels.

This girl guided me through the countryside in Sa Pa. I can’t remember her name or how we met, but she basically just walked me back to her village and told me about her life and the area along the way. It was my favorite memory from Vietnam.
