I´m sooo sorry for being sooooo lazy. It´s about time to update you on what´s been going on over here in Viet Nam.
When the kids back home had autumn holiday, Edman family came and visited us. Ruben was so thrilled to meet his friend Linus. We had one week together and the rest of the trip Edmans was in Phu Quoc.
Except the outings in Ha Noi we went to Ninh Binh, 120 km south of Ha Noi. It´s also called Ha Long bay on land. Mountain peaks rising straight up to the sky, like dragon teeth. After a short bicycle ride we went on a small boat along a river (more of a newly dug big ditch actually) to a cave that went straight through one of the "dragon teeth". The cave was very narrow and it was fun but I could do without the long boat trip before arriving there. If it was´nt for the scenery the boat trip would have been a real pain.
On the trip to Ninh Binh we also visited the Temple of Dinh Emperor. Situated just in front of one of the peaks. We only stayed for maybe 30 minutes and we did´nt get much of what the guide said. But it was beautiful.
Like everybody else visiting Ha Noi Edmans shopped a lot. That´s what most people do in Ha Noi. It was nice to have friends visiting and I hope more will come before we head back home for good.
As usual I took a lot of pictures. Just click on the link "read more" to the right and you can view them.

And of course, Bonzan went along to Ninh Binh.

The coolest couple in Ninh Binh.
As always, a lot of pool time with the kids. Linus is getting really good at swimming. Way to go Linus!
Edmans walking along Hoan Kiem lake after doing some shopping.
Magnus shopping glasses. It´s very cheap in Vietnam. After the opticians test you get them in 20 minutes. In Sweden you have to wait 3 weeks at least. I imagine that the opticians in Sweden send the prescriptions to Asia only to cut the price. But it´s on the expanse of waiting customers in Sweden. And no, he did not buy the glasses on the picture.
Maja in her new Ao Dai. The Vietnamese national costume. She is sooo cute.
