Happy Birthday to me!

That cake is on fire!

Another goat – full of flies – ready for the kitchen. I am so happy that I do not eat animals!!

Feast with the hotel owner. They had extra rice whiskey for me since theirs had some bear parts in it.

At the noodle place in the morning. If I got up early we went here for a soup. If you come at 8 in the morning she might be out of soup already!

Sundowner

The next feast with the hotel owner

Thanh & Hoàn. They took me to this nice place. Very interesting food and well decorated!

Bamboo and Art

Starters! The corn and beet root where fried – makes it very tasty. Guess it makes it with a lot of calories as well.

Greens – me loves!

Chicken in Rice – not for me!

Hoàn & Việt

Bái Đính Temple at night. Thank you Việt for this trip!!

Motorbiking round Ninh Binh

Planting rice is hard work

Another church

You can see – the new bridge is there on the left. But not finished yet. You have to pay a little bit if you wan to drive over the bridge. Most people stop and chat for a while with the guy that collects the money. That is country side for me. And a bit of the good old times!
