Our last day in Vietnam was spent explring the old city of Hanoi in sunshine.
I chose to visit the market in the Old Quarter, which is a very large affair in a large building on three floors selling just about everything. I bought the usual T shirt with Hanoi on it and some CD's at £1 each. This was followed by a visit to the War Museum, which was interesting and showed the futility of war and especially in such a country as Vietnam, where hiding and sniping would be so easy.
Our bikes were washed and bagged up before sending to the airport for our return home.
Where next I wonder?
