In hanoi - waiting for another bus

We got back to hanoi after a fee days in cat ba. It (of course) was raining while we were there but sunny on arrival and departure! We got a cool bungalow when we arrived only to discover beg bugs!!!! Fortunately we saw them before we climbed into bed. So we were hotel shopping at 9pm again. We found a decent place for half the price of the bungalow so it worked out i guess. We had a relaxing day friday, then did a boat tour saturday of the islands in halong bay. It was pouring rain until about noon but it cleared ip enough to allow time for some kayaking and swimming. We arrived back in hanoi around 4 yesterday. We love the hotel we found here - no bed bugs and very friendly and helpful staff (Nova Hotel). Today we are doing a day trip to "Trang An" and the "bai dinh" pagota, which is apparently the largest in south east asia. The day trip includes a boat ride into some caves and some bike riding. Looks like a stunning place. It is sunny here in hanoi so hopefully we also have good weather there.もっと詳しく
