Dong Hoi, and Phong Nha in March/April

Ruth paddles into the early morning sun

Time marches on, two more Months have passed since my last general update, so here's a few pictures and some news that got away. Ruth has been doing a few early morning canoeing sessions with John since he arrived.

The weather has finally improved, it's now super hot but after three Months of cool and cloudy weather this is almost welcome.

After the rains came

Even though it has warmed up, there are still some intense thunderstorms about.

Dong Hoi fishing nets

The other day we had a trip to Dong Hoi asWatto was form filling in order to get his driving licence.

Fishing boats, some rather old

There has been some serious ocean pollution around Vietnam and all the fish are dying and not safe to eat. This means that the many fish restaurants in Dong Hoi are either closed or will have very limited menus. We think that swimming in the sea is also banned. Very sad for the locals who rely on the sea for their living.

Fisherman's hut

Dong Hoi was almost totally destroyed during the American war, a single church is just about all that remains.

What the Americans did

The only thing left standing
