Ah lovely to hear from you and thanks for reading. The high/low thing really worked for us. Loved Hanoi although it was very cold. The Hanoians were shocked and were lighting fires in the street. xx

Yeah we definitely subscribed to the high/low approach and laughed about it! I mean a glass of fizzy water at the Metropole in Hanoi was the same as a 1 hour massage. Insane. We did tip the masseuses though.

Thanks Suzi. We had fun and went for a few challenges. I don’t mind a bit of cold and not so clean if the views are as spectacular as they were. Yes to being a traveller at heart!! Me too and a few limbs too.
