North-Vietnam

Hanoi, the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is an elegant city located on the banks of the Red River with tranquil Hoan Kiem Lake at its heart. North of the lake are the bustling streets of the Old Quarter (where we stayed), each street named after the trade that used to take place...

Vivacious and Volatile Vietnam

With the luscious beauty of Laos behind us, we were now ready to face the hustle and bustle of the city once more. Unfortunately for us, to get there would require a 26 hour journey across the border on a sleeper bus...on my birthday!! The bus arrived late and by the time we had sorted our...

Hanoi

We had a few days in Hanoi before we headed to Sapa and then came back again after Sapa. In those initial few days, I can’t say we were that impressed with it.

Hanoi

HaNoi .. where are you going? You want moto?

Hanoi! S.E. Asia, we’ve arrived! We landed at the airport, made it through customs without any hassles and even passed the medical thermo-imaging camera. Turns out neither of us has a fever, although there is a chance we’re simply immune to it all and we’re passively spreading it around...

Frenzied in Hanoi

We had heard a slew of negative things about visiting Hanoi - "the people are aggressive," "you will get hustled," etc... The Lonely Planet said that scams were common, especially when booking excursions out of the city. We were pleased that during our three days in Hanoi, we found, with an...

Vietnam

Before we had arrived in Vietnam we had all agreed that we were going to treat ourselves to a really nice hotel - having spent a considerable amount of time over the past couple of weeks either in the jungle, on buses/planes (LOTS of time spent travelling), in shabby guest houses, & all in the...
