Our bodies were just used to the new time zone when we had to get up at 2:30 A.M. to get a taxi to the airport for our flight to Vietnam (no wonder the flights were so cheap).
Hanoi is crazy. There are scooters/mopeds EVERYWHERE. On the trip from the airport we saw them piled high with loads of random things. The best one was the live pigs though in the picture.
Today we ate in another road side stall, we know that if we are going to get the 'runs' its definitely going to be from there. For the next week we are planning to go to Ha Long bay where we will hopefully stay in a locals home and help cook etc, go on a small cycling trip and then go up to the mountains of Sapa for some trekking. The weather is so much cooler here, we are actually in trousers and a long sleeve top. Its actually a relief after Kuala Lumpur.
So its over and out for quite a while. Remember no news is good news.
Oh, our stupid bank stopped our cards!! (well at least we know they are doing their job but still annoying) so after a 15 pounds call to them they have managed to hopefully get them working again. Although we had some teething problems earlier so hopefully that was a temporary hiccup and won't have to ring them again.
