I was so thrilled to finally get comments on the blog - so I thought I'd let you know some other amusing things that Jules has done on this trip.
1. Lost the very flash kiwi-bought hat off the boat in Ha Long Bay (day 2).
2. Lost the mark 2 not so flash Vietnam red cap with yellow star on Hoi An beach.
3. Collapsed a small plastic chair in slow motion at a little restaurant in Saigon.
4. Fallen off a very small plastic stool (also Saigon).
5. Got stuck in a trapdoor hole at the Viet Cong Cu Chi tunnel complex. (In his defence, it was a very small hole - but you have to love his optimism:)
Tonight we are in Chau Doc - it's our last night in Vietnam. Yesterday Jules and I went to the Reunification Palace. I was a bit doubtful - it's a very 1960s concrete building - but it was great. There was a double-level bunker underneath and some very funky rooms such as the first lady's entertaining room, with spiky seventies light fittings and lots of orange and brown. And of course just seeing the old war rooms with clunky old pink phones and formica desks is entertaining. And they have the tanks that stormed the place, a US fighter plane and a helicopter all displayed in the grounds.

Told Mia and Isla about you collapsing the chair, Mia thought it was pretty funny cos "you must have a pretty bum to do that"(her words not mine)...I think she was impressed!
