Sketches from Italy
I've arrived! Nunzio the driver is waiting for me at the airport.
.
This guy is something of a local celebrity, having been in an indie movie about Roman Slackers or something.
.
The Isle of Ischia. I stayed on the West coast at Forio. You could probably stay anywhere and just hop around to the other towns on the bus.
.
Some notes and suggestions from the patrons of Pietratorcia.
.
Great B&B close to the ferry in Forio. Very convenient location.
.
The nice, simple, convinient B&B where I stayed in Rome.
.
Segrio from Mordi & Vai Gastronomia "Romanesca"
.
This conductor accused us of improperly validating our tickets. He called the police, who simply scoffed at the conductor.
.
Ahh, time to head back. What a trip!

My favorite meal in Hanoi! Now on to Halong Bay...
.
I spent two nights in this cozy little cabin.
Good food, good kayaking, too.
Hue, Vietnam
Hue, Vietnam—I discover I've lost my credit card. I imagine I left it back on the Dragon Pearl. I find it two days later in my carry-on bag.
.
It looked like a cafe. A great example of Vietnamese hospitality.
This was the place I was looking for. Bun thit nu'ong was a little too spicy for me.
.
Torrential downpour. Refuge under a tented stall with some pho. Hoi An tomorrow.
.
Hoi An, Vietnam— I've got my sights set on a banh mi.
(I will have three in as many days.)

Once again, a really nice hotel with a helpful staff.

Q-Bar, Hoi An
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Next stop: Saigon.
Next stop: Saigon..

But first a nine hour layover in Korea..
Seoul, Korea—It was nice to get out of the airport for a few hours. Ok...one last flight now!.
What a great trip!
.
I packed very lightly for this trip—carry on only. I would wash my clothes in the hotel sink and
they would dry in a couple hours..
I brought more Tom Bihn bags with me than underwear. The Tri-Star, Smart Alec, the Field Journal
and Cafe bag all were put to good use..
