Earlier today we went to the Thung Lung Hoa Ho Tay Flower Garden. When we got there we went to the ticket stand and bought 4 tickets, the price for 2 kids and 2 adults was 400,000 VND ( $24.00 CAD ). We walked in through the gates and in to the garden. There were so many types of flowers and they all gave off nice smells and vibrant colours. The garden was very big and had many little passages going through it, it was kind of like a maze. There was one moat that winded it’s way through the garden so there were several bridges that were fun to go across.

Most of the passages were small with a natural ground surrounded by flowers but there were some passages that were more developed with a not natural ground and the flowers on either side trimmed back. The colours were beautiful but I would have liked there to be a little less people.

There were a lot of this kind of flower in different colours, I later found out that these flowers are called Impatiens. I like all the colours of Impatiens flowers but the peachy colour is my favourite. What is your favourite Impatiens colour? (please reply in a comment).

More Impatiens, but these are the red version. I like this Impatiens patch better than the one above. What about you?

This is the view of Thung Lung Hoa Ho Tay from the windmill seen in the picture below. Thung Lung Hoa Ho Tay is off of a very busy road on the river, not where I expected to find a flower oasis. There was one group of people that was taking a bunch of photo shoots in the flowers and some of the photos they took were very funny.

This is us standing on a wooden platform on the river. In this photo you can see all the passageways through the garden, one was even over Denise’s head!

This picture shows the garden from the higher passageway. Most of the flowers were warm colours but there were a few blues and dark purples. I think that there were thousands of flowers in the park.

This is me on the windmill, the windmill offered great views of the park. Can you spot the greenish-white flower patch on the right side of the photo? Its my favourite patch in this photo.

What is your favourite flower patch in this photo????

First, there are so many motorcycles in Southeast Asia. You can’t go a few seconds without seeing one. In Trang An me and my dad rode on a motorcycle around our neighbourhood. In Hanoi, there are a lot of Grab Motorcycles, I wanted to take one but my family said we had to take a Grab Car. In Hanoi, there is a lot of motorcycle traffic and a lot of honking. I counted how many seconds I could go without a honk and it was 8 seconds. When you are crossing you have to be bold and just keep going forward.

Another way to get around by yourself is by bike. Some hotels have bikes for rent. Unluckily, all hotels do not have kid bikes so we have to ride on the back of our parents bikes on a little pad. We rode our bikes around Hoi An with Cleo.
