Headed back for 4 hours to Hanoi with the guys. Swerving and bumping over every pot hole ever made in north vietnam. The city is so busy bikes everywhere and a little more wealth kicking around. Decided to go for the compulsory mooch with Ryan and sajil. Took a detour to the market. It wasn't your usual market. Smelt like death an you could buy a deshelled turtle to eat. Grim. Headed for a long tour round the lake stopping off at a few cafes here and there. out for dinner at a vegetarian place by mistake. Good food despite the power cuts. I ate some wasabi mash! Taking that one home with me.
