For Bob and I it was the most fantastic trip which could only have been achieved by using Mihn, Cousin Ha and Jack.
We learn't about Vietnamese Food and Culture. We laughed and did not have a down moment.
The cost of the trip was inexpensive as we ate local food recommended by Minh and Ha (AUD$5-$10 per day) However we splashed out on a bottle of wine most nights - AUD$20-$30 per bottle) and went for 5 Star Accommodation $AUD80-$120.
Overall we gave this Holiday a 9 1/2 out of 10 - Simply Fantastic!
