A tour through Vietnam

This was a three week tour of Vietnam from trekking in the northern hills to boat cruises and cycling in the Mekong Delta undertaken in 2006. From Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) we enjoyed great hospitality, amazing food (probably the best cuisine I’ve ever experienced on a trip), exotic culture and stunning landscapes.
