Jess, this means that the visit starts November 1 and not Nov 2, correct?
Looks like a busy trip.

According to the article, yes. Which is odd, because the official press release from the royal court said it began on the 2nd. But, given the amount of detail given in the article, I'm inclined to believe it (this isn't the first report ScandAsia has had on the visit).

Billed Bladet has an article talking about the upcoming visit to Vietnam by the Queen, Prince Consort, and CP couple:
Billed-Bladet - Frederik, Mary, Margrethe og Henrik skal på cykeltur
It says that they will ride in a bicycle taxi. This is the first time that the four royals have taken a state visit together. During the visit, the Queen and CP Mary will visit a flag factory, and the Prince Consort and Crown Prince will tour a brewery. They will also attend a party given in their honour. The article says that Prince Henrik is familiar with Vietnam. He lived there as a child, and returned during his student days.

Prince Joachim is regent from October 31st, which means that the Queen and CP Frederik are out of the country. So maybe the regent couple and the crown prince couple will arrive in Vietnam on Saturday night?

Yes...well over 24 hours I think! So it's a good thing that the Day 1 agenda starts later in the day and only includes the bicycle taxi ride and dinner at the Danish ambassador's residence...gives the royals time to recover from jet lag!

Not 24 Hours i'm afraid more like 13 hours.
Time difference is GMT+7 
Which is going to make reporting on events some what confusing.
Beautiful pictures so far, Prince Henrik looks in his elimant.
