A sunset seafood meal on the beach in Sanur, a perfect way to finish up in Bali. #warungamphibia

Drinking local Bali coffee brings back lots of memories, but good Aussie-style espresso is easy to find too. A frappuccino is my fav to beat the heat. #balicoffee

We finished our three weeks in Vietnam with a visit to the Halong Bay area. We stayed a couple of nights on Cat Ba Island, and the highlight was a day cruising around Lan Ha Bay (the less touristy area next to Halong Bay) with kayaking through caves, jumping off the boat and swimming to a beach, visiting a fish farm and monkey island, and a huge Vietnamese seafood lunch.

The most spectacular way to get to Cat Ba Island, via a 4km cable car supported by pillars 215m high.

No family holiday would be complete with a little history lesson. We visited the 1600-year-old ruins of the Champa Kingdom, a day trip from Hoi An. Described as a mini version of Angkor Wat, it would be much bigger if most of it was not destroyed by US bombing

Hoi An is all about the lanterns, they are everywhere. The kids spent a couple of hours making their own, which are going to be great souvenirs and reminders of our time here. #thelanternlady #hoianlanterns
