Well we finally arrived in Hanoi after a very long 18 hour journey :) saw some amazing scenery on the way though so not too bad. We were both very tired so quickly found a hotel and checked in (arrived about 0800) hotel was nice and room would be ready in 30 minutes so we can check in. Left bags at reception and off to see what Hanoi has to offer and get some breakfast . Had breakfast with a few very strong Vietnamese coffees then we checked in and off out to get our bearings.weather was ok about 23 and a bit of sunshine.
