Day 1:
I finally made it without any major problems. The 11 hour flight went well, I was thoroughly entertained by my fellow passengers Damian (Gaelic footballer) and Charley (Magician extraordinaire). A little hickup on transfer but Thai Airways handled it without any problems and I got my bag as soon as I arrived in Hanoi Airport. I splashed out on a airport transfer in a bid not to be scammed by any of the hungry taxi drivers waiting outside. If I wasnt on my own I might have tried it out for a laugh. What I didnt know was that it was actually going to happen to me when I arrived at the hotel an hour later. You wouldnt think if you booked into one hotel you would be taken on moped by the owner to 3 other hotels before you finally end up in the one you will be sleeping in which happens to be a dump. I must say that by 12am I was past the point of caring so I just set up the mosquito net and sleeping bag and went to sleep. End of day 1!!
