The rain and cold, were too much for us to get out today. We did go and purchase a few items from a local supermarket. You can’t find rice in bulk here. Pasta is abundant though.
Yesterday we got out and explored many different areas. We went to the National Gardens. We looked around the Panathinaikon stadium. The back side of The temple of Zeus monument. We walked by the presidential palace, but could not see anything.
If the weather holds out we will visit a few more places tomorrow. On Sunday, the weather is going to be good, we plan on touring the main attraction.
Very much enjoying Athens. The weather is a little cooler then we would like, being that i prefer tropical conditions. I really need to get a stocking cap. My poor head is cold.
What’s odd is that everyone here is bundled up like it really cold. 55°f- 60°f is not really cold. i remember driving to work in just a good jacket and it being -29°f. Our current level of clothes are working. Though they are more suited for Tropical conditions. Lucky socks and crocks or socks and sandler are acceptable attire in Europe.

We are finally all caught up on our travels to Athens. This is the last day in Vietnam, from arriving in Ho Chi Minh to getting onto the plane, to singapore. All following posts should be current.

05/12/2024

12-5-2024. Now to post about Singapore
Once we landed, we toured around the airport. Riding the trams between different terminals.
We checked in for our tour. We ate some food from a 7/11. We in fact got both of our meals from a 7/11, at the airport.
We went to the butterfly garden. We took in a movie at the theater.
Generally this place is huge. They have an area called the Jewel. It is like a large mall, with every store brand imaginable. They have a waterfall as the main attraction. We did not have enough time to take in the entire airport complex, because we had to get to our tour.
The Tour guide, he knew his stuff. We made two stops and got to take in part of the city and a garden park. We unfortunately had to deal with rain and it caused the pictures to have us wearing plastic bags. After the tour we made back to our terminal and hung out at our gate, tile we had to leave. At this point we are all super tired. The children are able to sleep anywhere in any situation.

This post is for Tate to look at much later in life.

Tate must have the face of someone to be scammed.
When we were in Hanoi, they have doughnut ladies who scam you into buying their expensive doughnuts. They walk up and offer you a single doughnut ball. You think it’s free, oh but it’s not. They try and charge you for the one you took and then force you to buy more. They can get very aggressive and loud.
Tate thought it was free and took one. Being I had all the money it was not going to work, I had already walked on. Shanda got him out of it.
So in Athens Greece they have the rose scam. Same premise, offer it for free but demand money.
Tate again took the flower and Shanda had to get him out of it. I have had already walked off, saying it’s a doughnut scam.

Nothing is free. We had to explain, again to Tate, stop taking stuff from people.

As mentioned about being overwhelmed in the grocery store. The amount of motorcycles here give me the same feeling. I have owned several of these myself.
Just a quick photo dump of a few we passed on the way to our apartment. I swear I will not post anymore.

Some of what the guards do while on post.

We are going to go backwards with a few of these posts. We will start other our first morning in Athens Greece.
I will be adding a few videos and lots of pictures along the way.
We left Da nang on the 1st.
Got to Ho Cho Minh on the 2nd
Singapore on the 3rd
Athens on the 4th.
So we will start with Athens.
We landed and made our way to immigration. This was our favorite immigration so far. they we yelling and hurting you along. Processing everyone, like it was a race to see who could process the fastest. Not in a mean way, just hurry, hurry.
We then hung out in the airport for a few hours to allow for it to warm up out side. We then took an Hour bus ride to the center of town. You get to see so much this way.
Once in town we stopped at, Syntagma Square. This is a main tourist stop. Lots of public transport and tourist stuff here. We walked around this part of town for a few hours. We stopped at a market and purchased some luck food and found another area to eat it at.
So much to see and do. Lucky we have a week here.
Not being able to check into our apartment till3 pm left us with time. We did lots of people watching. Tried some local treats and they were amazing. We even got to watch the change of guard at the parliament building. We will post a video of this.
Once we started to walk to our apartment we came across several old ruins that had covering over them.
We finally made it to the apartment and it’s charming. I will post a video
The weather is not all that cold, but we are use to tropical conditions. First time in over a year to have cold toes.
Food. Shanda and I went into a larger grocery store, last night. Talk about an over load. In Asia food types are slim. Meat and cheese are not really an option. So foods made out of these are harder to find. Just standing in the store looking at everything was an overwhelming. We found no bulk rice and eggs are costly again. We made spaghetti with sausage last night, it just tasted different, but in a good way.
Today we will do some thrift shop searching and then some exploring.
Our plan is to get out and see as much as possible each day. We leave here next Wednesday for our next stop. That town is smaller and slower.
Lots more to come.

04/12/2024

12-4-2024. We landed in Greece.
Fast process through immigration.
Now we have to figure this place out

03/12/2024

Getting ready to get on the second plane. This one is 12 hour flight. Singapore to Athens. We are ready for some real sleep.
I will post everything I have, maybe tomorrow.

03/12/2024

12-3-2024
On airplane to leave Vietnam.

02/12/2024

12-2-2024. Gabe.
Arrived in Ho Chi Minh
The 20 hours flew by. Even though we woke up several times, the sleep we got while asleep was great. All that rocking motion, i assume.
Now we are taking advantage of the five hours till we can check into the rooms, for the night. We will wait one hour at the train station. Then we will start walking to the hotel. The walk is only one hour, even with the packs, it’s really not that bad. The plan is to stop and eat or hang out in a park.
Today we will clean up and get back out for a little while. We are planning on having dinner with the landlord of the home we stayed in, Da nang. It will be nice to finally meet.
Tomorrow starts early. The rumor is that Ho Chi Minh airport is, difficult. The reviews reflect that notion.
I might post again later

01/12/2024

12-1-2024. Gabe.
Train was an hour late, leaving.
Other than the occasional smoking from the ends of the car, it’s not bad at all.
We all fit in here, together. This will be better than 20 hours in a chair.

30/11/2024

A little comparison post of the kids. Before travel and one year later!

30/11/2024

11-30-2024 Gabe. Last night in Da nang
We are almost out of here. Everyone is packed and making sure that nothing is forgotten and that all electronics are ready for the trip. I will post a picture of all our luggage and food supplies, before we leave tomorrow.
We made our last walk to the lady we purchase our vegetables from. She was very kind and we will miss her.
So far none of the little kids have come by tonight. They know today is our last day, we sure hope they come by, one last time.
I believe we are all ready to head out. Lots of travel in the next 4 days. Lots of navigating the whole travel process.
Sunday to Monday- We take a train from Da nang to Ho Chi Minh, then hotel for one night.
Tuesday we take an early flight to Singapore, we will be able to spend part of the afternoon exploring Singapore. Tuesday night we take a flight to Athens Greece. This flight puts on the ground early Wednesday morning.

We have most of the food ready for this portion of our trip. The kids wanted a little something extra, so we let them all purchase a few items today.
Because the kids that come by our house are not big enough for the bike we purchased, we sold it. The plan is to give all of them a red envolope with money in it. In Vietnam, the red envelope is symbolic for good health, good luck and probably many other things. Unlike America, people who get these envelopes do not open them until later, as not to seem greedy. It is just a different culture, not bad or good, just different.
2 more suppers, 1 more lunch and 2 more breakfasts. This is how you plan you exodus from a country. Plan on what you need, with nothing being left behind.
Even though we have done lots of traveling and seem to have it all under control, we still worry. We will be fine.

Thanksgiving Dinner - 2024 - Viet Nam

Chili

28/11/2024

11-28-2024. Gabe
We had chili for thanksgiving. Shanda out did herself. With very limited seasonings it was amazing. Of course we did not have left overs. We never have left overs, with the teenage boys. For the treat, we had ice cream cones.
We also took a long walk down the beach to the bank we use. We then stopped by the barber shop for the cuts. Telia wants a new hair cut. We will have to find a local beauty shop for that.
We all took naps after the lunch meal. Well I took a nap and assume everyone else did also.
Tonight is family card night.
Our current landlord sent us some more Local food to eat. We very much appreciate all that he’s done for us.
The bike we were going to give to the little boy in the neighborhood, is too small for it. I will have either sell it or find some one else to take it
Happy Thanksgiving.

We did a review of the items in everyone’s packs. Checking to see what still fits and what is worn out. We have purchased a few items along our travels. As many of you know, any new item in the pack, must replace an old item. We need to replace a few pieces of clothing, it’s just not all that possible, to find clothes that fit my GIANT kids. So we are looking forward to Europe, for more than the sites.
We did make it to the local super market. Picked up our food for our train trip and the last of the items we needed for our Thanksgiving supper.
If the rain lets up, we will go walk along the beach. Why not, it’s only a few blocks away. Our plan is to let the kids go swimming one more time. Then they will have to pack up that swim wear. It might be a few months before they can use it again.

National garden in Athens. This place has so much to offer. This is just a very small portion.

Tate having a clam with cheese. This was the night that we had dinner with the host of ur Da nang home. Such a wonderful experience.

Stopping g to get some food on the way to the hotel in Ho Chi Minh

Current apartment in Athens Greece. What you don’t see are the pocket doors. This place is super cute and has many cool old world features. They have sun/sound shades built into the frames of the balcony doors. You have a cable to move up and down. It’s looks and feels like garage doors. I might do a separate video

Guard duty

Some of what the guards do while on post.

Part of the changing of the guard. In front of the parliament building. I will post a longer video on Sunday. They have a whole elaborate ceremony on Sundays.

Holy Church of the Virgin Mary Gorgoepikoos and Saint Eleutherius Ιερός Ναός Παναγίας Γοργοεπηκόου και Αγίου Ελευθερίου. I loved all the carving and how the structure was made

First impression of this sleeper car. It’s small, though we are all together. This will. e better then sitting in a seat for 29 hours

Just hanging out in the park.
