Hanoi Old Quarter

We’ve spent the last two days in Hanoi just wandering the streets of the Old Quarter, checking out coffee shops and restaurants we happened upon. Doing a bit of retail therapy and generally enjoying the city.

First coffee stop this morning was at the Hidden Gem. Another one that was down an alleyway and then up some stair, and more stairs. It a good example of up cycling lots of different things, windows, door, motorbikes, tractor bonnets etc.

We had a bit of a list of things to shop for and we got most of them sorted before lunch. Went looking then for some air conditioning and found Old Viet Restaurant. Once again great food and great service and the best Crispy Roast Duck and the spring rolls weren’t bad either.

Back to our new hotel for a rest, we had to change hotels for the last night which was a bit of a pain, but since we don’t have much luggage we’re pretty quick at packing up and the Bellboys moved it all for us as well.Meer informatie
