In March this year, Mai and I made a personal journey through Vietnam.

We flew into Saigon, where we caught the Reunification Express in
several stages northwards, stopping off along the way in Nha Trang, Hoi
An and Hue. From there, we went via car along the former DMZ as far west
to the site of the 1967 Khe Sahn Combat Base. From Hue, we flew to Hanoi
and then spent some days and nights on the water of World Heritage listed Halong
Bay, before doubling back to Hanoi and catching an overnight sleeper to
the far north-west corner of the country to Lao Cai on the Chinese
frontier. Whilst in the north-west, we trekked in and around Sapa and
Bac Ha, home of the H'mong peoples.

In the final part of our journey, we made our way along the various
rivers in the Mekong Delta, as far south and west as Chau Doc on the
Cambodian border.

The following series of posts includes some pictures taken on that
journey. The camera used was a Canon 400D.

At the end of this month, we will be making a second journey through
Indochina, this time through Cambodia. I hope to be able to take some
more photographs then and would look forward to sharing them here.
