After a week visiting Hanoi, we are excited to start our ride in the morning. While in the city we visited a few museums including a historic prison originally built by French invaders, then later used to detain US POWs. At the time it was known as the Hanoi Hilton.
Food has been pretty good although it is difficult to communicate. Fruit and bread is available on every street.
We did manage to track down a couple vegetarian/vegan places. Although at least one meal did not stay down for Jasmine.
We also left for an overnight tour of Halong Bay by boat with kayaking (our first time) and a quick dip in the water. The food aboard the boat was amazing.
For our last day in Hanoi, we decided to check out the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and meet with Uncle Ho face to face.
We managed to get one of the phones setup with a local sim card so we should be able to update frequently.
