Lots of Photo Links

I took a variety of photos in southeast Cambodia.  Some were taken on the island of Koh Rung, others are of Kampot and its surrounding countryside, and the third location is the quiet beach town of Kep.  Here are the photos taken at Bokor Hill.

Our first stop in Viet Nam was the river town of Can Tho (see Mekong post below).  From there, we went to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon).  We took a day trip from here to see a Cao Dai temple and attend the service.  We also went to the Cu Chi tunnels on the same day.  Here are the photos from our day trip.

After exploring Ho Chi Minh City, we headed north to the beach town of Mui Ne.  We watched a lot of kitesurfers and spent our days relaxing on the beach.  It was nice, indeed.

We spent two full days in Da Lat, located in the central highlands of Viet Nam.  We walked all around the beautiful mountain town our first day and then went abseiling on our second day.  It was an amazing time, and one of our guides was kind enough to take many photos.

We left Da Lat and spent two days at the beach in Nha Trang before heading to Hoi An to meet up with Noel, Tim, and Katie.  We spent a day and went to visit the ruins of clusters of Hindu temples of My Son, which were built between the 4th and 14th centuries.

Hue, the former capital, was our next stop.  We spent an entire day wandering around the old Citadel grounds.  The following day we saw three royal tombs, a famous pagoda, and a beautiful old house with an amazing garden.

Here are several photos from Hanoi and Halong Bay (where we spent Brad's birthday).  Halong Bay was as gorgeous as we expected.

From Hanoi we headed north to the mountain town of Sapa.  Here we hiked through rice terraces one day, rented motorbikes for two days and got lost in the amazing views of the countryside.  Most of the photos in this album were taken from the back of a motorbike as we rode.

I know there are a lot of photos!  Hope you find them enjoyable.
