Home sweet home.....sort of

Welcome to the Norfolk, 17 Le Tu Trung St, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City!

Although it was built several years ago now, it is still quite nice and has a relaxed feel about it. With 3 blocks to the city centre and three blocks to Glen's work, its location, location, location.



The area around us is very diverse, but more about that later.....


The foyer is like a refrigerator, but very welcoming after a stroll!

There are not too many things inside the room yet that make it ours, but it won't be long before Hill's influence is felt.

So for the moment it is comfy and easy to live in.

More often than not, we have the sliding doors and the windows behind the dining table (which open to the internal courtyard) wide open, so the room is warm but breezey.



The Gustav Klimt on this wall is about the only art Hill likes that is in here, so there is likely to be some additions to the collection in store.

Considering our determination to walk as much as possible (.....maybe the Vespa one day!........) and the temperature of this city, the pool is much appreciated.

Glen is trying to relearn to swim, with sister Karen and d'girls sending tips via email. Could this become the new routine to replace his now distant cycling pastime?
