In the eye of a Typhoon!


Today we were supposed to fly home via Hanoi and Paris. But we can't. The typhoon that hit the Phillipines a few days ago is now on its way here. We are not allowed to leave the hotel and all flights from Nha Trang are cancelled. Its actually quite exciting since we have a great view over the ocean from our hotel room.

The next flight to Paris from Hanoi is on Thursday but its fully booked so now we have to change our tickets and go by car to Ho Chi Minh and fly from there tomorrow. The drive is approximately 10 hours and we need to leave very early tomorrow morning.

We left a lot of luggage including Teddys car seat in Hanoi that we were supposed to pick up before leaving but thanks to Rasmus and Mona its already sorted out. They send our things to the Danish Consulate in Ho Chi Minh where we pick it up tomorrow.

Perfect - we get go see the countryside by car, a typhoon, visit Ho Chi Minh and all of it for free since we are fully covered by our travel insurance :-)

We'll update the blog with pictures if we see something exciting.

Ja, det är inte utan att jag sätter hjärtat i halsgropen, när jag ser vilka äventyr ni råkar ut för med lille Teddy! Var landar flyget i Sverige?

I wish you could drive us David. It would go faster! We are leaving in 15 minutes to Hu Chi Minh (Saigon)

Hej mamma,

Vi landar i Göteborg men vet inte när eftersom biljetterna inte riktigt är ombokade ännu.
