“Jeepers - that first climb to the temple was tough…. But worth it! Driver and guide were attentive - no chilled water or wipes - superb lunch. Boat trip was a procession of little boats rowed by locals….. if you aren’t in a group of 4 then try to avoid being paired with compulsive Instagrammers - be prepared for continual noise from their phones… or in our case politely take their phone and switch it to Silent!!! It was also Vietnam’s National Day - Sept 2 - so was REALLY busy and SO MANY RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE!! Bike ride from Tam Coc to two more temples - yes More steps…”
