Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 28

29 October - Hanoi A sleep in of sorts, by getting up a little after 8.00am. Three full days left in Hanoi, which means I only have three mornings in which I can fulfil my desire to have breakfast down on the street. Today was certainly an option, in fact it was probably more the … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 28

27 October - Hanoi Actually had a bit of a sleep in, which doesn’t happen too often, and then headed next door for breakfast. Back on our balcony, enjoying some fruit, but enjoying the goings on down below, more.  Loved it three years ago, loved being back 18 months ago, and now, just rapt to … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 26

5 October 2017 - Hanoi - Tu Le Up reasonably early again, but not quite bouncing out of bed.  Long days and late nights will kind of put a dampener on the amount of bouncing achievable…. Downstairs and out into the still fairly quiet streets of Hanoi to do something I should have done yesterday; … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 4

4 October 2017 - Ho Chi Minh City - Hanoi Up reasonably early.  And there’s a few reasons for that. One, I have a 12.00pm flight to Hanoi. Two, I want to make the most of my limited time here. And three, I need to do something that we were unable to do on our … Continue reading Vietnam 2017 – Trip Report 3
