Day 54 – Vietnamese Hair Shampoo in Ninh Binh

I was having a bad hair day today, so having passed many massage places mentioning hair shampoo I thought I’d give the experience a whirl. Turned out to be far more than just a shampoo and blow dry!

 It’s a “buffet” of relaxation, including shampoo, deep scalp massage and a facial over the course of an hour. I also chose an add-on of shoulder and neck massage.

The facial was a delight with all the usual aspects included and a face mask was popped on while my hair and head got the next lot of attention. The scalp massage was thorough and relaxing with herbal products used. I did wonder if a blow dry would be included but I need not have feared.

These are one more of those man-made creations you can’t really grasp the size of, or understand the time taken to create these warriors, until you’re there to see it with your own eyes. The detail in each warrior is...

This was our chosen location for our final day in Hua Hin and our last trip out on the bike. Only 30 mins from our hotel so an easy ride after breakfast. I’d only seen the temple advertised on a taxi advertising board so we had no idea how large the site would actually be....

Landed in Hanoi after a pleasant 2hr flight with Vietnam Airlines from Bangkok, they even managed a meal service in that time. On landing we made our way to the agreed meeting point to find our free (thank you Booking.com genius reward 😀) ride to Hanoi Old Quarter. Some crazy traffic meant this relatively short...

The Palace Museum was fun to get to as it was quite a way away from where we were staying. We started off by taking the subway from Taipei Main Station once we’d found the right line. (Taipei Main Station was so difficult to navigate I’ve written its own post!!) From there we exited the...
