We planned to have a quiet day today as the previous day was so big on the tour. After breakfast we headed off to find the tour office for our Halong bay trip and from there to walk around the lake.
We didn't get far as every 5 metres we were approached by groups of uni students wanting to talk with us and practice their English. Was quite interesting and they really appreciated our time with them . I had some photos of home and family on my iPad to show them which they liked too. We had so many photos taken we felt liked rock stars with all the paparazzi. We would have ended up on social media all over the place yesterday no doubt.
After there we headed to Joma cafe for morning tea followed by another massage next door . This time we got a foot massage which also included shoulders, leg, and arms and was fantastic . $5 for an hour. Hope to get back there again before we leave Hanoi.
The rest of the afternoon we spent back at the room getting ready for Halong bay. We can't take all our bags there so had to buy a small bag to put a couple of days worth of stuff in.
For dinner we headed out looking for this Mexican restaurant I had read about but it wasn't there anymore so we just found someplace else. Dinner for both of us including a beer and juice was about $13 - so cheap here.
After dinner we walked past Bia Hoi beer corner where everyone sits around on little stools drinking cheap beer.
