In the morning we were given a walking tour of the area around the hotel which was mostly just back streets and markets. Then a few of us went for a walk around the lake in the centre of the city and found a coffee shop (with a generator because of another power cut) for a drink overlooking the lake. Back at the hotel the tour leader had really messed up arranging the rooms ( overall she hasn't been very good) but fortunately we were able to sort it out and I got a room with a great view over the tops of all the other buildings around. In the evening we all went to a water puppet show, which is puppets but controlled by sticks under water (you kinda have to see it to understand). It was really good although it went on for a little bit too long. Because I have a number of dys here after Halong Bay I didnt want to do to much today so that there would be plenty to do when I come back.
