Landing in Hanoi

---

First day of travelling got off to a shaky start, saying goodbye to the people you love is one of the worst things in the world. The flights were easy, I will apparently be a vegan during all flying I do on this trip so I'm expecting lots of tofu.

The humidity outside the airport felt almost like a fine mist, it will take some getting used to and my hair will not be happy about it. That said there are many worse things.

Took a private car to the hotel and spent the whole journey on the edge of my seat pressing my right foot to the floor in a vain hope it may encourage the driver to brake. It was definitely a nerve wracking drive although somewhat exhilarating - definitely an experience, and I guess that's what travelling is all about. We got settled in our (upgraded!) room in the hotel and I am looking forward to a much needed rest.
