Welcome to our Jeep - which we bought in 2008
It was used for a number of years to take...
...visitors around northern Vietnam - including along Route 32
While Picture Posting has allowed occasional visitors to wander into the photographs of northern Vietnam, these appearances are usually marginal. This page turns away from the scenery and local people to a selection of photos, still taken on Route 32, but of the
people normally
behind the camera.
First some portraits
of our Jeep which
was involved in a
number of trips on
Quốc Lộ 32.
An ideal vehicle for feeling in contact with the places visited
The driver and bystander contemplating a hold-up - one glove is better than none in an open vehicle
Old Jeeps (American War cast offs!) are repairable in the smallest of communities with minimal tools
Two customers from the UK - Barbara and Ian - on a December outing
Hà Nội beer for the travellers - but only three bottles, someone was abstaining...
...As it wasn't me, maybe it is driver Hân who is here reciting the menu choices while waiting for the beer at this small restaurant
Another restaurant along Route 32 and a Vietnamese favourite dish - hot pot. For this meal the food is cooked on the customers' table, here in the pan on the blue gas burner
Hân's wife, Duyên, precariously perched taking a selfie, with a tea planation in the background
Early selfies - 2007 - often seemed to require grimaces of this sort...
...later ones seem to require plunging into crops
Leaving the hotel - 'Where we stayed' shot
This is ridiculous
Getting immersed in the countryside
Catching up on the phone
The 'Selfie Stick' not being used for selfies...
...and being used for selfies in a tea plantation. Next to a photographer, a selfie taker:
Phone as conventional camera to capture a local woman, posing with Hân's wife Duyên
And then there is the review of the day's takings
Finally a meeting seen
before.
What's he saying?
'Here's our English book - let's see if this helps'
'Not a chance.' All that work and books, and we don't understand a thing, neither does he understand any of our wonderful English
Trailers...
