What a busy day we have had!
We got up at 05:30 and walked from our hotel to Hoan Kiem Lake where all the inhabitants of Hanoi do their morning exercise. From prison weights to 90 year old women doing tai chi! We also bumped into two of our fellow travellers alongside the locals as they had been out all night and decided in their still-drunk state to join in with the tai chi.
After breakfast we took a taxi out to Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum. It is Vietnam day or something, so its a public holiday and it was packed (or Hoachin man)! It took us 2 hours to see the dead guy.
Then we went to see the Army museum. It was quite good lots of tanks and planes and helicopters. It is obviously a museum to instill national pride because everything on display had a plaque that told you how many Americans said weapon killed/shot down!
We went out for some lunch which was awesome, followed by some bia hoi on the street, watching the world go by.
It has been another scorching hot day and we have to catch an over night train to Hue.
Take care everyone.

I can't believe how much you've packed into four days! What's the food been like? Aaaaa! It sounds so exciting!
ReplyDeleteIts been non-stop and we have done loads!!!
ReplyDeleteThe food's awesome, I have a bet with the tour leader that if I avoid western food for 7 weeks, she will buy me a beer in Singapore. I intend to win this bet!
Haha well that's going to be a lot of noodles! Can't wait to see pics of all the places you've visited! Have you been using your video camera?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are having an amazing time. Enjoy your train journey and do not put your head out of the train window. Take care. Comet and Jem say woof. Shirley and Calum say missing you.
