Lan,
How are you? I hope you are having a good time with your family. I and my family have just come back from a trip to Phong Nha Cave. It was one of the most beatiful place in Viet Nam. It ‘s about 500 kms from Ha Noi and we got there by train. We spent a week there and I didn’t want to leave.
Although it was summer, it’s very cold and dark inside the big Cave. We took many photographs with local people there
The trip was wonderful, so I was very happy and relaxed.
That’s all I have time to tell you about. Write to me soon and tell me about your news.
