Today we say good bye to Vietnam

 

The lotus flower seen everywhere in Vietnam.

We took an over night flight from Vietnam to Australia.  It took 9 hours but the good news is we slept most of the way.  We’ll leave for New Zealand tomorrow.

Just one more comment about visiting a communist country; there is NO free press in Vietnam.  All news is censored.  You are told what the communist party wants you to hear.  If the party doesn’t agree with what journalists write, the news outlet will be closed for good.  I wouldn’t have even felt comfortable making these comments while in Vietnam but since I’m thousands of miles away I can say what I want.  

Freedom is good!
