There is a mountain of stuff to do before the Grand Adventure. Pack, clean house, organize the puppy and Grumpy Cat. I also need to cut out and sew a bed throw for The Batwoman. Get my hair cut, lose twenty kg. find clothes to fit or rather camouflage my Buddha figure. It will be fine.

Mama and The Batwoman
While I am looking forward to sightseeing and shopping in Vietnam and Cambodia, The Batwoman is and has been collecting money and stationery for the school kids. Both our hotels work with local families, kids and schools and so Batwoman wants to help. I love to hear school children read so I hope there are some little ones for me to enjoy books with.

Batwoman and Mama On the Move
My daughter and I are venturing overseas again. We are visiting Vietnam and Cambodia for two weeks. We have been to Vietnam and looking forward to returning. Cambodia is the next point of call. I can't wait to see the temples of Angkor Watt.
We had a brilliant time on our last holiday and expect nothing less on this trip.
So there will be lots of sitting by the pool sipping cocktails............what? Sitting by the pool no........adventures first........pool sitting later.
First stop Ho Chi Mihn. The wonderful cheap tourist markets call.
Siem Reap is the second port of call. The temples, the silk factory, the pottery factory, shops, shops, shops, markets....Old Market, New Market, Night Market...oooh so many things to do and so little time. Oh and then there is the pool, oh yeah!
We spend a week in Hoi An. Our hotel looks amazing...just a a few minutes to the beach. An Bang is set in the midst of a fishing village. We are staying in the Papaya House. It looks lovely.
There are schools near both of our hotels so Kel has been collecting stationery and books for the children. She is looking forward to seeing the kids.
Hoi An is well known for its tailors............last time we visited we both had clothes made............shoes made, jewelley made to your own design........shops, galleries, markets, cooking classes.....I could go on forever.
So there we have it, lots of holidaying, tours and really lots and lots of shopping.
Madame madame you buy you buy........watch this spot!
