We arrive at the capital after an early morning flight. After showering (much needed) and eating (mabye not needed but enjoyed) we set of to explore the city. And I thought Ho Chi Minh was bad. Several people had warned me along the way. This city is literally buzzing. We arrived at the Hanoi Hiltern. Not our hotel, no, but actually waht they now refer to as the old prision that they French built and they used to imprison the Americans during the war. Called so, as a joke obviously, because thats where the Americans would have prefered to end up!
We ahd an amazing breakfast here at a non profit cafe to give disadvantaged Vietmanese children the chance of a better life. And my stomach was grateful for it. You could have anything from Vietmanese to English to continental breakfasts and plenty of fresh fruit!
We are now back in Hanoi (up to date) after spending the night in Halong Bay. Our tour finishes tomorrow and I will have to say goodbye to Alex who is going back to America (L.A) and our group leader Sonny. But have a farewell dinner tonight and then I cant lie proberly more bar action. Tomorrow night I will be catching an overnight train furthe up north to Sapa with the rest of the tour group - Alice (who has an extra week in Vietnam).
