Hanoi

We arrived in Hanoi at around 8am on Saturday 16th after a fairly comfortable night bus (Georgia slept the whole way!).
We stayed at the one hostel - really nice rooms, rooftop pool and restaurant.
When we arrived we dropped our bags and went straight for breakfast -
We spent Saturday not doing too much - had a walk to the lake (hoan Kiem) and went to Uniqlo (I can't help myself). As it was Paddy's day eve we found an Irish bar called the snug - it was full of Irish expats, and it was lovely to get a taste of home for the weekend.
On Sunday 17th I went out for a solo breakfast and coffee whilst Georgia slept. Today we went to train street to watch the train go by. It was pretty cool and lives up to the hype!!
We went out tonight again to celebrate Paddy's day - first to the mad monkey hostel and then to the snug.
Monday was a very slow day and we didn't do too much. We booked our transfer to sapa for Tuesday 19th at 8am from the hostel.Leggi altro
