Hanoi

Back in Hanoi for one night before we fly back home (via Melbourne). We had our last meal in Vietnam (noodle soup, of course), packed our bags and finally went for a stroll to Beer Street and Hoan Kiem Lake before calling it an early night. We are very glad to be flying out early tomorrow morning ahead of Tet as a lot of shops (probably 70% of shops and cafes) in the Old Quarter were already shut for the Lunar New Year, which would have made it very hard to do anything (let alone eat) as a tourist over the next week. Next stop, Melbourne!Read more
