On a gloomy grey day

Lying in bed this morning Husband and I were talking about our holiday two years ago in S.E. Asia. Outside the bedroom window the trees were being blown around by the wind and the rain was pelting down so memories of a warmer time were rather pleasant.

Our holiday began in the Perhentian Islands where Younger Son and Nuora had set up an environmental project. Tiny islands with no cars or roads to speak of, but sand, sea and sun.

Perhentian Islands
From there it was on to Vietnam, firstly Ho Chi Minh City then Hoi An and cooking with Mo - wonderful experience - and more sun, sea and sand.

Hue was next before Hanoi and then a cruise on a junk around Ha Long Bay where there was plenty of sea and sun but a bit less sand.

Sometimes you just need to remember there is another world outside this currently damp and grey one.

Is it going to rain for ever, do you think?

I think so, Sharon.

No! It can't do, can it, Sonata?

There is indeed a whole other world that a lot of us have never seen, thank you for sharing this part with us.
