2. Ken's holiday

Ken was so excited to be going back to Vietnam, as he was last in Vietnam with May in 2007. He was travelling with his ex-army friends from 4 FD Regt LAD and RAEME, and they were doing "Franko's 10 day Vietnam Highlights Tour" - visiting Saigon, Long Tan, Hoi An, Hanoi and Halong Bay. They arrived in Ho Chi Minh City on Thursday 5-Sept and spent 2 days exploring the city as a group and individually. Some of the activities enjoyed included a cultural music and dance show, Rex's rooftop bar, My Tho and the Mekong Delta, as well as a boat trip to Thoi Son Island.  On Sat 7-Sep the tour group travelled west to the Cu Chi Tunnels, then enjoyed a 90min hydrofoil ferry trip to the seaside resort town of Vung Tau, to stay at the Grand Hotel.
