Our bus from Sapa arrived at 4:30 in Hanoi. We got a taxi to Central Backpackers, which was closed when we got there, but fortunately there was a guy to open. We got our bags and moved it to Hanoi backpackers.

We met Megan later when she was awake at the hostel. Helen another English girl we me. Paulette Megan and I went for a walk around the lake area. Meg went to the Museum while the rest of us went for another foot massage, as always was awesome.

Very sadly I had to say "good bye/see you later" to Paulette whom I thoroughly enjoyed travelling with and knew I'd see her again in Aus!! And so said "hello" to Megan who continued the Vietnam leg of the journey with me.

Helen, Meg and I went to find a Halong bay tour which we did and were due to leave the next day. We had dinner, I went for a roam around and called it a night.
