We arrived in Hanoi on Sunday morning, the flight was at 6:20 in the morning which meant getting to the airport at silly o’clock. Fortunately I only live about 20 minutes from the airport so it wasn’t too bad.

We got a taxi from the airport to the hotel and settled in then when on a walking tour of the old town area of Hanoi. The first thing I noticed was that the weather was noticeably cooler than HCMC which was nice at it’s been hot recently. The second was the streets are much smaller and it feels more like a big town than city. The third thing was there was no sugar cane man.

We all took in the sites of Hanoi which included the old town, Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum (sadly we didn’t get to see him) an old prison and an old University (The temple of literature) we also took in several Pagodas.
