some 3 months later... but back again (Post #1 - Vietnam Travels 2019)

Hello!

It was lovely reading those beautiful messages full of happy thoughts and wishes from each of you... thanks so much 😊

During my break from blogland, we went away for a holiday, something we hadn't done for quite a while and was thoroughly enjoyable because it was so well planned.  By that I mean it was leisurely and totally at our own pace.  Thanks for that goes to my Dear Hubby who organised everything.

I'd love to show you some of our holiday snaps:

Hanoi, Vietnam.  Our hotel room balcony which overlooks Hoan Kiem Lake.  

Having previously been to Hanoi, we knew exactly where we wanted to stay this time around.

Early evening drinks, overlooking another section of the Lake.

Another lake view.

It's a beautiful flat paved walk all around the lake with so many activities to see.

Oh I loved the fresh fruit breakfasts, and took great pleasure in making sure I didn't miss out on anything!

There were two types of sticky rice for breakfast - quite different flavours... one was coconut and the other had a red bean in it.  

Mass plantings of the Peace Lily were everywhere.... obviously had been prepared for the previous month's North Korea-United States Summit in Hanoi

One of the many coffee shop treats that we enjoyed amongst the hustle and bustle of Hanoi.

Back to the lake!  From Fridays to Sundays the area is closed to traffic and the whole area is open for the people.  So many locals - whole families would come and, of course, lots of tourists. 

I'll leave it for now and start popping around to catch up with everyone.  There are lots more photos ... lol, so be warned!  

Thanks for stopping by and cheerio for now.
