Been pretty lasy of late to edit and post pics of my vietnam trip and thus explains the lag. 400+ of them in my camera and not forgetting 200 others in Josh's which he hasn't upload them yet.
Did i mentioned that our's was a morning flight n we got to be at the airport at 7am on a sun and guess what?!! My boy came to pick me up and Grace came to send us off. Heart warmed at that instance as she usually slept till noon on a weekend.
Grace's monopoly deal accompanied us for the whole 8days! We played on the plane, hotel, on the junk boat with this dutch guy and he's so excited that he say he's gonna find it for himself!
It was freaking cold n windy the moment we stepped down the aircraft! 10degrees!
Hired a cab and went ahead to check in at our hotel.
Nice cab driver
Asia Palace Hotel - where we stayed at the busy happening streets of the old quarter. They start honking non stop at 4am which woke the 2 lightsleepers up. I was totally undisturbed.
After settling down, we roam around the streets hoping to find lunch and book tour for halong bay and sapa.
1st meal by the roadside which was a total ripped off.
S$24 for all these pork & beef bbq n we were served low grade hill rice!
That's the lesson for not asking for the price before ordering. :(
Stumpled upon this cafe n decided to have some nice warm vietnamese coffee! and this shop serve the best coffee we have tried. Coffee with cocoa texture! Nothing beats having a warm cup at 10degrees. Simply Awesome!
Poor Josh was bugged by this kid who wanted to change his shoelace and polish his shoes. The kid followed us a few streets before he relented.
Our 1st bowl of Beef Pho in Hanoi! and they were so so good!!
The 22yr old shop assistant.
Headed to Dong Xuan Market (biggest n oldest market in hanoi). They sell things from handicrafts, beauty products, iphone covers to cheap winter clothings.
The place is huge with hundreds or even up to 1000 stalls.
Shall blog about other interesting happenings on this trip soon. :)
