A (somewhat) unexpected trip…
Having continuously told myself I want blog more, here I am, on New Year’s Eve 2019, catching up on on our summer travels…
Back in August, we had planned a vacation to Cambodia and we were holiday ready…
Out-of-office was on, suitcases were packed, and we were getting ready to leave for the airport when we got the notification that our flight had been cancelled. ???? You see, the day on which we were due to fly out, was the day following the airport disruptions due to the Hong Kong protests.
But all was not lost… determined that we were going to enjoy our week of annual leave, plans B, C and D went into straight into operation (in true Enneagram 6 style).
From Hong Kong, we took the ferry over to Macau (which is less than an hour away) and booked into a hotel. We’d only previously been to Macau on a flying trip when we first arrived so that we could re-enter Hong Kong with our working visas in our passports so this was a great opportunity to explore this Portuguese-influenced region.
We spent 3 nights exploring Macau, before flying from there to Hoi An in Vietnam…
Hoi An is a wonder to behold. At just over an hour by plane, this lantern-filled riverside town has definitely entered into my list of places to re-visit. We tried our hand at a cooking class…
lantern-making…
visited a silk village…
had clothes made, wandered around night markets and enjoyed several massages, as well as sampling some of the most delicious food…
I’m so glad we sent my parents there when they visited in December! Such a fun, friendly and affordable place to visit! Already looking forward to returning!
