Hanoi Gold Dragon Hotel

... we went further into the bay and were thrown a life jacket and shoved into a Kayak to go explore the islands, lots of fun! Back on board to chill out and take some photos before dinner. We had a really nice group so after dinner we just chilled out with some bottles of wine (Vietnamese wine was em... interesting) and lots of new card games I just could not get the hang of and therefor kept losing ...

... live a very simple, traditional agrarian life. The best
aspect of the museum was the fact that it was busy – very crowded
and not with tourists but with local people! There was a festival
like vibe at the museum: popcorn, ice cream and balloons were being
sold in the street outside and there was music everywhere.

Other
observation s: Ha Noi is a loud city honking from vehicles creating
the most amount of noise. They honk non-stop here – ...

Cuando entramos en la habitación, nos duchamos y nos dormimos dos horas en la cama. Hoy toca migraña ... normal, con el tute que llevamos ... asi que nos pedimos la comida en la habitación, descansamos un poco más hasta que se me pasa el dolor de cabeza y hacemos la maleta.

Luego nos damos el último paseo por Hanoi, para ver la catedral, el mercado y las calles ...

... It was totally unexpected and a real nice touch. So, after stuffing our faces with cake, we all put our glad rags on and hit the town. We had a nice meal and then went to a few bars and even a night club for a little bit of dancing. A good day all round was the general concensus. A couple of days later we were off to the island. We spent a week here relaxing, sunbathing, drinking various colours of cocktail, as well as doing a snorkelling trip. We liked the island, it was very ...

... interesting symbology of new beginings in the area about the end of the Vietnam-US war. The pagodas were really pretty and Ho Chi Minh's stilt house was surprisingly simple, but shows what kind of man he was (there were also lots of photos of him sitting on steps and road sides with locals, and he didnt want the mausoleum, preferring to be cremated instead). The temple of literature was really pretty, and a peaceful area ...

... out why he was a) parked in the middle of nowhere and b) annoyed that I was getting off. A bloke turned up on a moto and said he was from a guesthouse and we could stay there that night; nothing else was open. SCAM. Brilliant. We had no choice as the lovely drivers had already taken off/thrown our bags to the pavement. As we were piled into a taxi (the girls too) the bus pulled away and the *******s driving gave us a grin. So I gave the appropriate response ...

... for weeks. We know that they have a Boots in Thailand, and the beach resorts will sell these supplies, but in the meantime we might need to buy some stuff online and get it sent to one of our hotels. The rest of the day we drank endless cups of tea and ate more great food at the Tamarind cafe and at 8pm we were taken to Hanoi train station to get on the 9.15pm sleeper to Sapa. Some days you need a day off from being on holiday :)

... Issues : The cost of the cruise is about $3. Nevertheless the locals try to increase their profit by demanding that you buy your driver a drink. This drink is later returned to the seller by the boat owner. Hoa Lu One of Vietnam's ancient capitals is Hoa Lu which served during the years 968 to 1009. The city is situated in a mountainous region that gives excellent protection form invaders. However, the mountainous area disrupts the ...
