Our last breakfast on the ship, Angkor. Duy joined in.
As always, the food is very good on the ship. |
 |
 |
We went off to a minority village,
The Muong are an
ethnic group native to northern Vietnam. The Muong is the country's third
largest of 53 minority groups. They build their
houses on stilts for heat protection. |
 |
 |
They can only harvest once a year,
since there is no artificial watering systems.
On the ground floor, they keep their animals. |
 |
 |
Plenty of nice ducks for animal.
A manual rice grinder. |
 |
 |
A creek running through the
village. They use the water to drive a manual
rice crusher. |
 |
 |
The group at the pond with the
grinder. Drying various kind of food-stuff in
the sun is a trusted method. |
 |
 |
Lovely rice fields.
Big, fat goose parading around. |
 |
 |
And rules they need in Vietnam.
Vi visited a house to one of the locals. Here
is he in his main room. |
 |
 |
We took a car up the hill to the
museum and restaurant. They had put out a
fantastic lunch for us. |
 |
 |
June and Martin at the
table. Duke, our main tour guide, talked about
everything, very eloquently. |
 |
 |
June and the owner of
the museum. Having a pre-lunch cool drink is
nice. |

And we all listened
attentively. The group or large parts of it. |
 |
 |
Groupies.

Saying
farewell at the airport. |
|
 |
After checking in, to
the pool on top. It had a nice view of the
airport. |
 |
 |
Ready for a swim.
Nice in the shade in the corner. |
 |
 |
Martin is getting
ready. And off he went for 45 minutes for his
first swim in 10 days. |
 |
 |
In the evening, we had
a lovely pork barbeque just around the corner. It was driven by
an electric motor and was perfectly done. |
