Fabulista Sings: In Praise of Youth(ful Looks).

It’s not everyday that one gets complimented, left, right and centre, about how brilliantly good looking one is. This is one of those days. And the Fabulista loves to be reminded, even though one knows that as a fact each time one stands before the mirror.

I woke up at 6 this morning in preparation of the imminent trip round Lan Ha Bay around Cat Ba Island. At the breakfast café, the chef who commented, “YOU ARE VERY GOOD-LOOKING”, pleasantly surprised me! Is there a better entrée for breakfast? I think not…

Alas, one cannot continue to sashay too much and too long at the café before one starts to feel beautifully conspicuous and ridiculous. Beautiful, yes. Conspicuous, yes. Too.

So one embarks on the day’s pre-planned journey… a boat cruise around Lan Ha Bay.
