Shelley very happy. We worked out we haven't seen the sun since Rome.
Rewind to yesterday though and Mr Swarve in his suit which is a perfect fit. I hate my jeans and my jacket is only ok but that's my fault cause I'm a fussy b**ch when it comes to clothes ;) Our shoes are awesome too.

Back to today and after waking to a beautiful morning, a walk to and home from the beach, some more shopping and beach going, this afternoon we embarked on an Eco Tour Fisherman Tour.
We were able to get up and close and personal with some locals who were very friendly and hospitable.
On the way to the fishing village we stopped in at a local kindergarten where the children performed for us. See it here. Sooooo cute!
We were provided with an authentic social and cultural insight into the local Vietnamese way of life including partaking in some hands-on activities such as basket boating (see movie here), (entertainment basket boating video here)
and learning traditional fishing techniques.
Unfortunately we didn't get a good catch for dinner tonight.
But had great fun trying.
At the end of our tour we enjoyed a lovely Vietnamese meal on board before setting off for home.
It is a wonderful thing that Jack Tran has done for not only himself and his family but also for his village and the local people.
A snapshot of today's photos here.
With the flood situation in Brisbane we weren't sure of the availability of rental properties when we get home in March. An offer was made and we're very happy to say that we're now the happy renters of Rob and Amanda's house in Paddington (where our furniture was taken to the other day).
Wow home in March, that seems like it has gone quickly. Im loving your adventures and photos :)
