Al's Viet Nam Travelog Day 6 part B 1 Water Puppet Musical Opening

Image
 The Water Puppet show, skilled puppeteers set a tale of life in rural Viet Nam. I was only able to get 2nd row seats for Pin and I  so the footing sometimes (unavoidably) includes audience. To produce watchable size videos I have split the show into parts, this being B1 The show starts with a musical introduction. Here it is. If you like and want to see more please like and follow on YouTube.

Al's Viet Nam Day 6 part A Taking it In

 OK to be honest this one is just a bit of a diary type thing that includes a bit of food and even more beer. But it was a part of the trip so...

Al's Viet Nam Travelog Day 4, Da Nang to Hue

Image
 Owdue again Day 4 of the Viet Nam Travelog and off to Hue from Da Nang. A route that took us along the coast then over the Hai Van Pass once described by Jeremy Clarkson as   "A deserted ribbon of perfection—one of the best coast roads in the world." Quite an accolade considering he was riding a scooter at the time, not exactly his favourite mode of travel it seems. In Hue we stayed at my favourite hotel the Scarlett Boutique Hotel, took a boat along the Perfume river to the pagoda and the Imperial city and finished the day with food and drink ant the DMZ bar. I've added some route animation to this one using mappi-studio. Let me know what you think and oh. If you watch it on YouTube a thumbs up and like on there and maybe even consider following my channel would be nice.

Al's Viet Nam Travelog Day 3 Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge

Image
 The fireworks are over and after the explosive experience and the wine, a good sleep in preparation for a really great day was in order. Day 3 was a trip we had booked to Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge. You may have seen the Golden bridge on many promo adverts for Vietnam, it's the one with the hands. Pin has been wanting to go there for a while but her planned trips got the cop unfortunately. This time she got her wish. To be honest I hadn't researched this really so I wasn't particularly impressed that a trip to a bridge with concrete hands would be much of a trip. How wrong can you be! What a fantastic afternoon, what a great venue!!! Do I plan going back? Yup, sure do.
