We are so sorry that we’ve come to the end of our grand adventure, some of which was even more adventurous than we’ve reported (driving down a footpath instead of a road, by mistake; skidding through 180 degrees on an S bend on a mountain road; burning out the clutch of the hire car and having to have it replaced) but all thoroughly memorable and beautiful.
We have a few videos for you on the theme of wrapping and rolling, the first in the rice fields a while back:
And here’s a skilful lady in Hue wrapping parcels of food to steam:
Finally, here’s Shi, our guide, showing us how to wrap (or roll?) another Hue specialty:
Notice the beautiful dragon tattoo on Shi’s arm which he used as a teaching aid to explain the geography, history and economics of Vietnam.
So goodbye until our next adventure – and thank you for being with us on our journey. We’ve loved your participation as readers and commentators – and thank you particularly to Josh and Bien for making this such a wonderful time.
I’m also sorry th
Thanks for another marvellous armchair voyage. Safe travels

I love the wrapping videos – some nice embedded metaphors there, too. Must hear the story sometime of the burnt out transmission 🥴. Congrats on completing another wonderful journey with all of us in tow!
