Twins together

Finally managed to convince Karen that we needed to be together and it had to be in Vietnam. Kezza (to her bro) gathered up the necessary courage and left the country she has been bonded to for ohh-so many years and flew to HCMC, via Singapore. She managed to "drag" daughter Grace - who made perfect compamy for her Asian extravaganza - so fly she did......And ended up right in the middle of Ho Chi Minh City!



From traffic to taxis to tunnels, there was no holding her back. The heat, the noise, the people, walking here and there.



After awhile in the big smoke, the three blondies headed up to Hoi An for some flirting with the seaside. Glen had to keep the nose to grindstone while the girls fired up. Beachside resort, lanterns, cafes galore and local shops.






After the jaunting up north, the girls were seen together in many of our favourite spots around HCMC - The Rex, Dong Khoi Street, Benh Thanh Market, Mekong Merchants. And Glen managed to tag along from time to time!






And in between the bargaining at the market and buying lots of clothes and stuff, we celebrated Hilly's birthday - the song was sung by a madding crowd, but none louder than the twins.





And while Kezza wasn't exploring, she would sit by the window and just check out life along Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street. She now knows more about the schedule of the little ladies across the street, understands the nuances of Vietnamese construction procedures and the crazy habits of our horn-honking scooter riders.

Hurry back you two. It was fantastic to have you both here!
