...this is gonna be my last post for a week or so.
I am finally in Hanoi and have met up with Kev. The journey was loong as i had a few hours on the bus from hoi an to hue then six hours walking around hue (not that impressed tbh) - the citadel was missable and i didn't get to see the tombs, and my feet hurt from my new taylor made leather flip flops. Joy. Then I had a 12 hour sleeper bus (not as nice as my first one!) to Hanoi.
Today, we tried and failed miserably to go to some museums - afternoons on friday is when they are closed! So we wandered around the city a bit and then went to see Tranformers (woo woo). It was pretty awesome. Once again the script was a bit cheesy, but the action scenes were wicked!
From tomorrow we're on an organised trip from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay - Overnight on the boat, then back to hanoi the next day after some sea kayaking, then a sleeper train to Sapa where we're gonna do a day trek to a remote village, and the following day get a motorbike tour round the sites of sapa before getting a bus to the Lao border, to head to Luang Prabang. We're missing out Vientienne, hope this isn't a mistake, but loadsa people said its not that great.
Really looking forward to our next couple of excursions though!
Rite, i must to bed - or at least to decide what i'm taking with me for the next couple of days...could take a while! 😉
