The Moggys in the Mekong!

We had a FANTASTIC day today down in the Mekong Delta.  The Moggys, all 7 of us, hopped it down to the Delta and had a blast.  There are so many pics I will try to narrow it down but it will be hard.  We ended up booking the good old Sinh Cafe tour.  Decided to pay the extra and get a private bus and driver and would have to say it was worth it.  Sure, it is a fairly commercial tour but you know what....we had never been before so we WERE tourists.  We saw some great things and the kids were remarkably good!  True adventurous souls.  I hope they will remember it as fondly as we are sure to.

And we're off.

Quiddy is not a real fan of boats.

 

 

Better thank you.

Umm... noice!

She was great!  she tried everything.

Love this one.  This lady was just so lovely.

She had NO fear at all!  I do not know why this surprises me. 

 

 

Turkey!

We had a fantastic Christmas lunch!  I slaved all morning over a kitchen stove to produce a masterpiece worthy of Gordon Ramsey himself! I cheated and ordered a fabulous turkey with all the trimmings from the New World Hotel.  All I had to do is duck out at 12 and pick it up.  We sat down in a very civilised manner and enjoyed our MASSIVE bird!  Yes, it was as good as it looks!

Contemplating the turkey

Garlicky buttery beans

Home made cranberry sauce (not by me I must add!)

Mash and Gravy

The master carver.

Lemonade!  Well it was a special occasion.

For the big kids

Shhhhh, don't let mum see me ruin the turkey with my tomato sauce which MUST go on everything.

The problem was, 12 hours later, we were hungry again.

Thanks for the gingerbread Tom and Leo!
