Vietnam - Hanoi Day 1-2

Hanoi at night

Ok I am terrible I haven't put a post up in ages! So a few weeks ago I went to Vietnam for 13 days with a my friend Erin from Australia we flew into Hanoi and out of Saigon and only booked the first 2 nights before we left. We Flew from Hong Kong to Hanoi Vietnam, arrived at 8 after being delayed in Hong Kong on the plane for an hour boooo and we were suppose to be met by a car, but that didn't happen.

Pomelo Salsa

I am still trying to get my posts together from my trip to Vietnam, I promise to get the first 1 done in the next few days...  This is some salsa I made awhile ago but seem to have forgotten to post for some reason. Hope you enjoy!

Guacamole

A quick post before head off to the Vietnam this afternoon! I am flying into Hanoi and out of Ho Chi Minh, I have the first 2 nights booked and thats about all. I ll look at my guide book while I am on the plane. I am going on the trip with a friend from University, this will be my first trip with a friend, ie not accompanied by a massive group of sailors, my family or a boyfriend! I have been to Vietnam 3 times so far, I love it, the food is amazing I cannot wait. Anyways for this post nothing to do with Vietnam, an easy recipe for Guacamole! Enjoy

Boracay, Philipines

fresh seafood at market

A few weeks ago I went to Philippines  to sail in the Boracay Cup. I left Hong Kong at some crazy hour in the morning, took Cebu Pacific to Manilla. Next I took a plane from Manilla to Caticlan airport in Boracay, I had one of the scariest landings I have ever been in, the runway is so frikin short, and when we came in for the landing the plane was rotating side to side and when we landed I swear the back wheels lifted up a bit, actually people clapped when the plane finally stopped! scary...

Banana Flower Salad

I picked up a banana flower in the market the other day so decided to make banana flower salad. I made a similar salad in a cooking class in Vietnam a few years ago. The problem with this cooking class was that every ingredient was cut and prepared already so you only had to mix the ingredients together.
