Hanoi Fortune Hotel

... met by our very funny, and self professed "most handsome man in Vietnam" tour guide and taken onto our Junk boat. We set sail and were immediately served lunch on board before setting sail again on to Halong Bay. It was absolutely stunning with thousands of islands jutting up from the water. First stop was to visit Sung Sot cave. It was absolutely huge and beautifully lit by coloured lights ...

... of tremendous isolation and uncertainty.
The solitary confinement cells and the death cells were particularly
creepy: very small and dark. One plaque mentioned that the prisoners
would develop scabies because of the conditions.

Next we visited
the Museum of Ethnology which gives some background of Vietnam's 53
different ethnic groups. The French called these 53 groups
Montagnards because they mostly live in the mountainous regions of
Vietnam ...

las casa de Hanoi, y en general en las ciudades de Vietnam, se construyen con una planta de 100 m2 (20 m x 5 m), por lo que para tener espacio crecen en altura. La última planta suele tener una terraza y una figura de buda.

En las tiendas se encuentra de todo. Incluso una camiseta de Ronaldo que en la tienda del real Madrid está agotada ...

... part of town. Later that afternoon, I was in the room and Suzanna was in the other’s room performing a fashion show of her new clothes, when I got a knock at the door and there was the Manager and her daughter, who was about 5, and they had a cake for Suzanna. I’m ashamed to say it was after no prompting from me, but they’d noticed her DOB in her passport, had a cake made for her and then delivered it with the Managers daughter so she could sing Happy Birthday to ...

... which I was warned about) I;ve had a good time in Hanoi, visiting the sights and getting acclimatised to this new culture. I've visited the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex - seeing his embalmed body was brief (they usher you along quickly, and he looks very plasticy), more interesting were all the crowds also there, including all the tiny Vietnamese children. The museum was a bizzare mix of photos and modern art but there was ...

I say Hanoi; it was just a dual carriageway in pitch black, with no other cars or even motos about. We were sat there for about ten minutes, when I told our driver that I was just going across the road to an ATM. Usual response - look of disgust, pointed finger, shouted remark. ATM didn't work, and we soon ...

... before ... we stocked up on it anyway, and bought some of the plug in insect repellent tablets and coils to burn. The sun cream, and in fact most of the moistruriser here, contains whitening to make your skin lighter. We definitely don't need to be any whiter and finally found some pricey kiddies factor 30.

The name comes from the 3 caves that the river formed in the rocks on it's path - 127, 70 and 40 meters long. The route : In order to see Tam Coc, you can rent a boat and sail along the river. During the cruise the boat passes through the caves. Costs and ...
