The Vietnamese women
Beautiful, but tougher than tough and the real workers of the country – it appeared that the men spend their days mostly gambling or sipping super-strong Vietnamese coffee or rice wine.

Two girls in flowing and flattering silk Au Di - we gape as they cycle past, cool and beautiful – Gill and I sweating and full of dirt and grime and grease


An industrious tour guide working the canals of Hoi Ann


An old lady hawking her wares on the beach from dusk to dawn in 40-degree heat


A woman drawing her nets before sunrise – hoping for a good catch



A fisher-woman waterproofing her basket-boat




A sea-gypsy pedalling her wares





When their hands grow tired, the women row their skiffs by foot
