Together with Nicole Duplaix, Chair of the IUCN-SSC Otter Specialist Group , I wrote a book all about otters and how wonderful they are. Check it out We Love Otters

In @sunworldbanahills there are lots of spectacular things: a french village; a peacock made of flowers; a temple... and a 27m tall blindingly white statue of Buddha.
As we climbed the >1000m mountain with a cable car to @sunworldbanahills , we floated into a cloud (oh, the irony). But we discovered that the whole situation was so so so much better without the scorching sun: better photos, better temperature and better mood! This is the golden hands bridge, held up by Buddha’s giant marble hands. Breathtaking!
Bun cha. Bun means noodles, cha means pork. And bun cha is not the same as Pho, especially because the “broth” that the meat and the pickled carrots and green papaya slices are in isn’t real broth but fish sauce, hot water and sugar. A place to visit if you’re in Hanoi!
How can you not sit on the deck and watch this kind of scenery? How were all the other passengers inside, having breakfast? I sat outside and refused to leave. So my new husband went in, got me some pho and brought it out for me 🥰
Halong Bay was everything we had imagined. This photo was taken from the small boat, returning to our larger cruise boat on which we slept, after an afternoon of kayaking, swimming and sunbathing on a tiny, deserted beach. I love the way you can see that these were typical Vietnamese hills and mountains... simply eroded and covered by the sea.
The rice has to soak for 5 hours, then finely ground three times to make the perfect flour for these rolls stuffed with minced beef, mushrooms and onion. Banh cuon bah hanh. That’s their name, and you should go to the tiny restaurant right next to the Cinnamon Cathedral Hotel in Hanoi. Unforgettable!
A huge stick insect! We only explored a tiny corner of Vietnam’s nature but saw so many incredible insects 🤯
We were in for a surprise in Cuc Phuong National Park..... millions of butterflies! Butterflies everywhere, of every kind... we finally discovered what inspired European butterfly gardens: Vietnam!! I took some cool shots with the camera but this one was with my phone - they were so intent on feeding on the soil’s minerals that they didn’t even fly away 🦋
Banh Mi. Another of our recent discoveries in Vietnamese cuisine. Yes, it’s a sandwich. But it’s a surprising sandwich, with two types of meat, pate, picked veggies, chives and cilantro. And I do love cilantro. When you take that first bite, the flavours are so different yet so balanced..... that you have to eat more. And then order another one, to make sure you really understood the deliciousness of this traditional vietnamese dish 😌🥳
