Hanoi

Hi Again



I haven't been able to open our (or anyone elses I know) page for the last couple of days, so sorry but I don't know if anyone can read this or if any replies have been made.



We arrived in Hanoi at about 5:50 this morning getting off the overnight train from Hue. The train ride itself was ok - in compartments with 4 people. While the rest of our group took an optional day trip to Halong Bay (where Megan and I go on Tuesday) we spent the day walking around the old quarter of the city and finding different places to eat.



Yesterday was also a good day, we went to the Citadel and an Emporer's tomb in Hue, and had vegetarian lunch at a pagoda cooked by the nuns that lived there.



We've said goodbye to our bicycles now, which has turned out to be a bit sad since we had gotten used to riding everyday through the country side and we had cycled a lot more than our original itinerary said (completing about 700km).



The picture upload thing doesn't seem to be working either so I'll add some more pictures when we come back from Halong Bay.



Talk soon
