Rocked into Hanoi at around 4 from the bus after Halong Bay. That same day me and Tom were leaving for the Sapa trip in the evening, so there wasn't much to do. We bumped back into some of the guys from Halong Bay who had booked the same hostel as us. We had been speaking to them on the boat and they were all looking for bikes to go south on. So I spent the few hours I had back in Hanoi selling my bike to a Dutch guy named Frank. Sold the bike for $150, despite having paid essentially €270 for it. But at the end of the day I just wanted to have sold it so it was one less thing to worry about, and also Honda Wins are far more popular in the north, even with locals, so the price is always lower anyway. So I said goodbye to my trusty steed that had travelled the hundreds of kilometres from Hoi An to Hanoi without major incident. At 8 we jumped onto a night bus again and headed for Sapa.
