Hanoi

Well as Bec predicted we had a bit of a sleep in, got up about 11 and headed out for some breakfast, after a little walk around we had a bite to eat and headed back to the hotel as Bec was still feeling funny. I headed out alone for a walk around for a couple of hours, there is not a lot around town in the way of big sights but just walking down the streets looking at all the shops and food stalls is interesting, so many different things to see and buy, amongst the many things I saw was some snake wine which is a bottle of wine with a real cobra fermented inside, some of these also had scorpions inside. After getting lost I headed home to see how Bec was doing and as she was feeling better so she came out for a walk. We headed down and had a look at the river, I’m sure it looks nice in better weather but today it was so gray and cold it just wasn’t the right day so we just walked around the streets more browsing the shops. Later on we headed to a bar nearby our hotel and had a couple of drinks and finally headed out for some dinner. After dinner we made a quick stop to buy some scarves as its freezing here and tomorrow we will be on a junk on the sea so we thought it will be even colder. Fairly lazy day today so not too much to write about!
