Well the thunderstorm didn't clear the air and we still have lots fog and low cloud everywhere; the sun isn't trying to make an appearance! It's cold and damp as well so weather isn't making anyone feel happy and lively! It's a coffee, cake and duvet kind of day! After breakfast we done a bit of shopping around for north face knock offs and then bumped into Chris and Oli and joined them for the trek down to the Cat Cat village, it was around 2km down the hill f...

It was nice to have to wake up early and it was super cosy in bed with a big thick duvet, it was like winter at home when you stick our leg out to test how cold it is and decide whether you want to brave the cold yet or not. We braved getting up and ready to go out for about 9.30am, the fog was really low this morning and the visibility was worse than yesterday, hopefully it will get better! We sensibly hired a moped for the day any ways!Breakfast was good th...

What a s***ty morning, we had to get up at 5am and wait outside on the doorstep of our hotel for the hotel in the dark, wet and cold.

We haven't seen any skinned and hung up at any of the markets as of yet and if like to keep it that way! We didn't get picked up until 6.3...

Didn't wake up until 9am this morning so missed breakfast. We went out about 10 to a restaurant around the corner that lonely planet recommended. It was nice overlooking the street and the bible was not wrong as usual, the food was lovely and it was cheap which is a bonus! We were finding jobs to do today because we didn't feel like venturing out far to explore Hanoi in the rain, so we booked a Halong bay tour for next week because the weather is going to be be...

We arrived in Hanoi around 8.30am. There weren't as many people on the road driving like lunatics as we expected but it was Sunday morning and even though the Vietnamese don't worship anyone they're still entitled to god's day! It was dark and damp, drizzly rain and cold compared to the rest of the places we have been in Vietnam! We were feeling the ride on a back of a motorbike so we grabbed a taxi and he actually knew where he was going unlike the majority of...
