This morning just as Michael was about to set out on foot to work, it started to pour! Now I have to say, rain takes on a new meaning in Asia. None of those pathetic little piddles we call a shower back home on the farm. This is real rain. And it leaves its mark. Michael got a message to say don't bother coming to work until it's stopped raining. It didn't take much for him to agree to that. When the rain stopped the fisher folk were out in force.
Next to ginger ice cream I've decided the best food in Hanoi is a wonderful fruit called Mangosteen. Wow, heaven in a fruit. After our morning peregrinations around the lake we retire to the upstairs eyrie for mango smoothie, or a passion fruit one. Now we're having yoghurt ice cream ( homemade) with fruit. Mangosteen is definitely my favourite.
Yesterday, as with most weekends and after work, the lake was filled with swan boats: the sort that require masses of cycling to move from one side of the lake to another. They are beautiful to watch but I think I won't be having a go. People say it's one of the few places young couples can escape for a bit of courting in solitude. all the exercise sounds like a high price to pay!
