I was just back in Melbourne and was not giving Hanoi the wrap it deserves. Seeing I am here sans the kids I am actually getting to see Hanoi for the first time. I have even noticed the purple flowers in the trees and the weather is magic. Yes you are reading correctly, I haven't had to wade through any sewer and while it is warm it is not yet unbearable. So if planning a visit to Hanoi I would suggest April May.
I have spoiled myself with a hair cut with Mr Tu and a pedicure. I am now sporting racy red toes.
And I am in training for the Hoi An Sprint Aquathlon. That's right no more messing around I am going to swim 750m and run 5km. Today I had my first practice run and managed the distance but the time was 42min so we will have to see how I can better that. Swimming is not a problem, although I am training in a pool and can only guess that ocean swimming will be harder as well as the trillion other people kicking me in the guts.
But the aim of the game is to complete it, not break any land speed records. After twins the body is built for ..... well I don't know what but certainly not speed.

Go girl with the training!! What's wrong with 42 minutes?? Sounds great to me. Enjoy the time on your own. I have just Naomi this week, Nick has taken the kids to Arnhem land (2 of them) to salvage the helicopter he wrote off a few months ago when he was croc egg collecting.
Keep up the blogging, I love to hear from you and what you are all up to.
