Vietnam

Vietnam has been fun. We first went down to Phou Quoc and enjoyed a little diving. I'm not sure I would suggest anybody to make the trip just for the diving but the people and food have been great. We are now in Mui Ne enjoying more beaches and food. Hope all your holidays are going well!!
