The frame was so hot that the bloody lens popped out when I picked them up! It’s in smithereens now…
Yet another pair needed!
Let’s see if I can make it a hat trick…

We got a taxi to the “Old Town” and had a wander passed the many shops and street vendors in this place.
Japanese bridge
We found a menu that looked interesting enough, but it was so basic and terrible it was a regret we went there. Should have gone to Trip Advisor!
The view was nice, though!
Riverside restaurant
Soft drinks & bebrs
Very basic meal :(
Walked through the market where ever second stall sold the same stuff. So, so busy! After about 45 minutes we found a pub playing live music so we took a seat.
Laura hates this T-shirt
The bar staff started taking the piss with my mocktails… this is the second one. The third will have an umbrella, piece of fruit, sparkler, firework, more straws, and a note to tell me I’m a wimp for not drinking alcohol!
Fancy sober!
Artsy shot, or something
So far, I love Ha Noi!
The view from our porch

“Very small amount of white people” – Me
Context: Today marks the second third day of a stranger of Asian decent taking a picture of us without us being asked first. We are a sight to behold in this part of the world.
We are a spectacle
It is a nice feeling and an angry one. Are we really that photo-worthy? I don’t go round taking pictures of every race I see, like some sort of xenophile scrapbook. Only to parade the photos on a timeline that I have no control over.
Next time it happens, I’ll put on my best angry face. That’ll show ’em!

£30 a night…

Not too shabby. We did well!
These quotation marks make me a little nervous. What does it do if not open it?
“Open”
Dat legroom, though!
Epic legroom is epic
Fully-loaded bike
What is this? A house for ants!
Good museum. Extremely hot inside. Let’s see what’s outside! This is the only photo I took…
“Can I help you, pal?”
The Vietnamese Mona Lisa…
Ho Chi Minh statue
The man himself (in wax form)
Ho Chi Minh
Viet soldier
Couldn’t read much of the stuff in the museum as it was all in Vietnamese. This museum is obviously geared towards the opinions of the Vietnamese and it is interesting to see it from their perspective.
Plus… air-con!
Black Jack’s
I went for a burger… it wasn’t even the biggest one they sold!

Obviously it was bloody brilliant….
After a 2 and a half hour bus ride in a seat designed for the shorter gentleman, we arrived at Ninh Binh.
A temple at Ninh Binh
We’re on a boat!

Obligatory photo:

Totally worth the painful bus ride!
