As soon as we arrived in the bustling city of Hanoi I dropped my bags and excitedly scurried off to find Alex and Gill who were staying close by. It was great to catch up and hear some of their excellent stories from their travels so far! We had a meal and a couple of drinks before meeting up again with the rest of my group.
Tom, the girls and I had a bit of a boogie, unfortunately everything shuts down at midnight but we followed a group of people down some very dodgey back alleys to a 'club'. It was essentially a scabby building that looked like its top two floors had been burnt out! But they sold rum so all was right in the world!
We went home at about 3am with the help of my trusty compass!
The next day we went around Hoi chi minh's palace and did a bit of shopping! I bought a huge northface coat which I now have to carry around for 4months!
We also went to the water puppet show, which I really enjoyed. It was very well done and very entertaining, wooden puppets were used on top of a pool of water to act out different Vietnamese fables.
We also said a sad farewell in Dave and Paddy's room to the group, I'm really looking forward to hearing if Dave, Paddy, Jason and Dee make it to Pamplona next year for the bull run!
