Meeting Ny's family & sightseeing

The first day of the year started with some homemade brunch (which also included some bacon to keep Will happy).
Next we went for a walk around the lake and stopped for some super creamy egg coffee. Highly recommend trying one!
Shortly after Annika spotted the perfect addition to Will's and my little family and that's when we adopted gorgeous little Hennry the duck chicken.

For the evening we had very special plans: dinner with Ny's family. It was a fantastic evening with lovely people and loads of delicious food.
To end the night we went to a photo booth to take some questionable pictures.

The morning of day number two was all about relaxation (for most of us). We booked ourselves into a VIP 2 hour spa treatment. First we got to spend 30mins in a private room with a herbal bath, herbal jacuzzi bath tub and sauna before enjoying a 1h30mins massage. It was a nice experience but also slightly discomforting to sit naked in a bath tub filled with tea and have a random Vietnamese person give you a body scrub.
After a quick stop at Ny's family's café for some well needed coffee we started our sightseeing tour around Hanoi. Our wonderful guide Ny took us to Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, the one pillar pagoda, the famous train street (we even saw a train go past) and St. Joseph Cathedral.
For dinner we had some very tasty dry pho and then went to the night market again to get some dessert, shop around and buy some beautiful accessories for Ny's flat. 🐖Read more
