Twenty one students and 5 teachers enjoyed a wonderful two week trip to Vietnam in the April school holidays. Highlights of the tour included a school visit in Hoian, shopping for souvenirs in the crowded old quarter of Hanoi, kayaking on Halong Bay, eating everything from spring rolls to whole fish and the insights into the recent and past history of the area from the two guides.
