Hanoi and Ha Long Bay did not disappoint. Had a fab time onboard the Bhaya Classic 2 for our one night cruise. Food was excellent and loved the cave tours. Definately keen to do that again!
Once we got back it was a wet cyclo tour to our transfer pickup point for our flight to Hue

Day 2 - Lovely buffet breakfast then off for a walk around the neighbourhood. Found a cheeky monkey who we think may have been responsible for the interesting wiring going on🤭.
Back to the hotel for a rather firm massage but when you are paying less than $50NZD for a 75min massage it is worth it.
Out at a local restaurant for lunch so will see how that goes.
Stay tuned!

Cobblestones, port w**e and pastel de nata, still warm. 🍷

This is Portugal the Premium way, a small-group Intrepid journey with a local leader by your side, from the tangle of tiled rooftops in Lisbon's Alfama to a Fado singer's voice cutting through a quiet room in Coimbra. Terraced vineyards unroll across the Douro Valley like something painted rather than grown, and a night at a Feature Stay hotel among the vines means the scenery doesn't end when the day does.

Wander pastry counters that have been perfecting the same recipe for generations, taste your way through the Douro's w**eries, and let a glass of port taste like the whole afternoon slowed down. Porto waits at the end of it all, cobbled and unhurried, the kind of place that makes you already start planning when you'll come back.

Vineyard views, vintage w**es and trails made for wandering. 🍇

Base yourself at Novotel Barossa Valley Resort, where every room opens onto its own balcony overlooking the Barossa vineyards. Spend your days at Seppeltsfield Winery, walking past century-old bush vines into the 1888 Gravity Flow Winery for a guided tasting, then explore the quaint villages, vineyard restaurants and galleries at your own pace.
