After a few sleeping pills later but still not a great sleep we arrived in HAnoi. This place is massive, with tiny streets, way too many mototbikes and over keen puchy sales ladies!!! Free taxi ride to a hotel, $4 a night each and an actual shower cubicle for the first time since melobourne - we took it!
We havent read up on too much to do here so we wondered the streets to find some breakfast and then headed to the markets (not that our bags can fit much more in them). We didnt last long there as our tolerance levels decreased quickly and we headed for the streets to wonder along them instead. Called into a few shops, scoped out some restaurants and headed home for a shower - much needed!
We feel like wev been on the go, non stop so the plan for the avo is to hit the cinema! perhaps even a double header. We wnt to valentines day which was all in english! so good just to relax for once. Lined up to buy tickets for a second movie but all sold out. was pretty funny as there were vietnamese subtitles so the audience would laugh before we heard what they were saying as theyd read ahead!
Decided to treat ourselves for dinner - KFC but this time not just a dabble. It gets served to you ona dinner plate, pepsi in a glass and completed with a knife and fork! Headed home calling into a few shops with nothing fitting us foreigners so called it a night.
We are booked on a 2 day one night boat trip in halong bay - have heard raving reviews so can't wait for that. unfortunately the clouds are really low at the moment in hanoi so hopefully that doesnt upset the amazing views! still waiting for our bus, pick was to be 730am it is now 9am!!!
