Or, more specifically, in selfies.
Our first full day in Vietnam we met our good friends, the lovely Lizzy and Dan. As you can see they were super excited to be involved in my epic selfie quest.
This is the entrance to a Vietcong tunnel! Or at least, to an enlarged, concrete-lined and electrically lit tourist friendly version of a Vietcong tunnel. It was still super uncomfortable.
We're on a boat motherflippers! Off the coast of Na Trang, the only place we went to that doesn't start with an H.
This is us looking slightly bemused in a mud bath. A first for both of us. Weirdly not unpleasant.
Mel's amazing skills as a bicycle-mounted photographer continue to shine in this picture, which proves that Dan and Lizzy were still with us the whole time. We just don't like taking pictures of them apparently.
This is from the same day as the above, but the rice harvesting hats were too good to pass up. Sadly we were not allowed to keep them.
Picturesque Hoi An, looking picturesque. It is an extremely nice place.
These are wishing candles, which the people of Hoi An like to let float on the river to make the wishes come true. It is very pretty, except that if you're a tourist they make you wear a life-jacket to do it.
More of Mel's bike-photography mad skillz, but this time on motorised bikes! Gasp!
Gigantic cannon! These cannon are in fact so big that they were never intended to be fired; they exist purely to intimidate anyone who walks through the gates of the Imperial Palace in Hue and says "dang, that's a big cannon!"
Kayaking in Halong Bay, which was very fun. Also it looked a lot less brown when the sun came out.
The cool bridge to a temple in the middle of a lake in the middle of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
This is a very small part of the very large queue to see Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum, including his mummified corpse! Fun times. But more importantly, I'm wearing my hat again! Priorities.
Sadfie the second: our last day in Vietnam, having to say goodbye to Dizzy. Nice dinner though.
