hanoi trip 5 ... accomplishments..

Mostly we like to collect a list of 'accomplishments', whether it is academic, an antiquities of wealth or just something most mundane. I have mine. I have swam or rather dipped into the North Altantic Ocean, North Sea ie Artic Ocean (?). Obviously we have had to add the North Pacific Ocean, at least part of it, in the list. Not sure if it is a good example for the young ones though!

Last take before we make the plunge..

Yes, we did jump. The water was so cold, that it took more than my breath away!

Mission accomplished...

Our antics did give our local guide a near heart-attack. He was so worried that he actually got a bouy ready to throw at and for us. We did set a record for him. Our friend, Helen, though disapproving, did remember to photograph a memento for us. So we do have to register it for record.
