Safe arrival in Hanoi

We arrived safely in Hanoi this morning:-) A very busy city, so many tooting scooters! Although we are getting very used to that by now. The most frustrating thing around South East Asia is that there are no footpaths, so you are constantly dodging vehicles!! 


Here I am wearing long pants and a cardigan for the first time in months! It was only 17 degrees here today, and even slightly rained this afternoon.

We went to a booking office and booked a bus and boat tomorrow to Cat Ba Island. We have been told it is cheaper to purchase Halong Bay tours from Cat Ba rather than here, as the booking offices often have scams. We will spend a couple of nights on Cat Ba and find a day tour around Halong Bay. We looked into Halong Bay cruises which are very popular but quite expensive to stay on the boat.


I couldn't resist not taking a snap of this very cute entrance to a classroom right in the centre of the city! :-)

Looking forward to Cat Ba and Halong Bay!!

Out of reception

Hello all :-) Just a post to let you know we may be out of reception the next few days. We are heading to an island called Koh Ta Kiev . We are pretty sure they don't have reception or Internet. We think we will be staying at accommodation called Crusoe Island.So, if contact is needed urgently, look them up (crusoeisland.asia) and they have a couple of numbers and email available. Love to you all xxx  The picture below is one of the lady's that walk around the beach with fruit on their heads. They cut it up and put it in a little bag with a skewer for you :-) mmmmmm
