Jonny and Lu From SW19

There is a bar in Hanoi called the Kangaroo bar. As you can probably guess from the monicker its run by an Australian and his Vietnamese wife. Actually you probably couldnt guess he had a Vietnamese wife from the name. I would have had to tell you that. Anyway they serve very good burgers which is exactly what you want sometimes when youre sick of eating rice and noodles. Wed met Jonny and Lu on the plane over from Bangkok and shared a taxi to the hotel with them. They had decided to ditch their accounting jobs and travel the world for a couple of years getting work where they could. After spending a couple of months working their way through Thailand it was time to sample Vietnam. After a couple of days of doing our own things we just happened to bump into them in the Kangaroo cafe just south of the Old Quarter. This is one of those travel things that I really like. You can meet people and not see them again for ages and all of a sudden youll both be in the right place at the right time and the relationship can continue where it left off. By that time youll have done something new and before you know it youve spent the entire evening drinking and eating and swapping stories. Its very satisfying. Anyway before we all left to go our seperate ways once again I managed to grab a shot of the two of them. Well probably see them again at Christmas because theyre in Sydney when we are. Right place at the right time ysee. Oh and I think we may have recommended Fansipan Adventure to them as a good travel agency. Jonny and Lu if youre reading this then we apologise.
