Gold Spring Hotel Hanoi

Hanoi train station was rather a confusing place to be, so I'm pleased I was with Ruthie & Daniel, my new Israeli friends, mother and son, who I'd met on the Halong Bay trip. It was about 9pm as we made our way along the train to find our cabin. I was so relieved to be in a 4-bunk cabin, as there was a six berth option but it looked really grim and claustrophobic.

I'd never ...

... include everyone that has wheels. It looked like they are going to have an accident but their 2mm precision must have saved them. I was amazed and bewildered. The chaos was refreshing.

We had our first breakfast in Hanoi at Stop Cafe, a Parisian cafe where everyone speaks French. My youngest son, Johan who is 5 and takes after me a lot, complained that he couldn't understand anything people said (he can't read yet so he can't ...

... not with the level of spice I had expected.

Right, I don’t want to ramble on about beer (lager) too much but feel it must be mentioned. In a bar or cafe there is a good range of either. There are bottles local to the area (Hanoi Beer etc) or the national Vietnamese brands (333, Halida etc). These seem to range from 40p to £1. The revelation however is Bia Hoi! This is magic, these are basically little joints that have nothing more ...

... looks like a large sea turtle with it's head poking up from the surface of the water. Offerings of Vietnamese dong rest beside it's head as the Vietnamese believe the turtle is a symbol of longevity. I find myself having a hard time accepting such beauty and become doubtful, wondering if these rock formations are carved by locals to entertain tourists to ensure their return and that of their money. I know ...

... cow for butchery or several baskets of hens! All the traffic does however make crossing the street quite an art form! We saw many street-hawkers in conical hats ply their wares and locals sip coffee and bia hoi (beer for only 9p a glass!!) watching life pass them by. We also walked around the famous Hoan Kiem Lake and witness synchronised t’ai chi on the shores and then crossed the red bridge to see the Ngoc Son temple in ...

... isn't. It's HOT here. 35 degrees and humid. It's much more north than where we've been until now, and it doesn'e seem the monsoon has arrived yet.

The food is SO good here. We're gorging ourselves on beef noodle soups and nehms (spring rolls). Today, we went to see Uncle Ho's mausoleum. It's a very serious affair, as Ho Chi Minh is a hero here, and is worshipped as such. There are long queues to get in ...

... a hot dog in sealed plastic. My meal was as lovely as it sounds. If you think that hot dogs in North America are bad, they are worse here. Surprisingly, my stomach did settle down after a while though. Around 9:00 I dozed off and woke up with a cramp moving from my right calf to my foot and shin. It is not easy to get rid of a cramp lying down. It took me a while, but by putting my feet flat on the wall, I was able to get rid of it. I guess I did not have enough ...

C'est un organisme Vietnamien sans but lucratif qui s'occupe de faire la vente au gros, au détail et l'exportation de pièces d'artisanat provenant de plus de 40 groupes de producteurs d'artisanat. La majorité de ces groupes font parti de minorités ethniques du pays. Craft Link pratique le commerce équitable, ce qui est très int ...
