Still Here
Hello people, hope this finds you all fit and well. Not been on for a while but I have been popping in for a read. So what's new with me, well not a lot really.
It has mainly been work or Granddad duties, more work i'm afraid to say, but I did manage to get myself down to the photo show at the NEC back in March and end up coming back with an Olympus OMD EM1 mkii . Then forward to May and a nice little trip to Stockholm for a couple of days to watch Manchester United in the Europa League final
Work, work and more work, then 2 days after my granddaughters 6th birthday we set of on our vacation, somewhere new. So on the 24th Sept we boarded a Turkish Air flight to Istanbul for a couple of nights before our 2nd flight, a nice 2am take off to Ho Chi Minh City ( Siagon ) in Vietnam for another couple of nights. Flight 3 took us from Siagon up to Danang for a night before a car trip to our final destination of Hoi An. A nice bit of R&R was required after all the travel, but we did manage to fit in a few trips while there, Marble Mountain, My Son Temple, a nice trip over Hai Van Pass for a day in Hue and I bagged myself a morning trip with a Dutchman (Hoi An Photo Walks).
So here comes some of the annual holiday snaps
Galata Tower
A little bit of Egypt
Siagon
Notre Dame Cathedral Siagon
Independence Palace
when the roads are to busy just use the pavement
HOI AN
Hoi An
Street life
Lanterns on the river
Lantern seller
local woman
another
hoi an in the evening
You all had enough, I have plenty more

Re: Still Here
Good to see you BK and thanks for sharing just a few of your pics......more please
The pictures in Istanbul brought back very happy memories of our trip there a few years ago. A great city and so much to see.
And is your grand daughter really 6 already, wow how those years have flown. Time to add a pic to her thread?
