what’s the highest the temperature got in average the whole time you were there?
Adrian, it was February and we started with around 14-18°C drizzle and cloud in Hanoi and Halong Bay, flew down to Hoi An in Central Vietnam to sun and a really pleasant 24-27°C, a short detour north over the pass to Hue rain and a cool 20°, before flying south to 34-35° and a very muggy haze Saigon and the Mekong Delta. My suitcase had for every weather except for snow – but that’s what met me when I arrived back in Munich:-(
