Hair again - now dyed it was time for the cut. Off I went looking for a hair salon. Found one round the corner, agreed a price , sat down and waited. Oh joy I am back in SE Asia so was asked to lie down for a shampoo and then had 20 minutes of bliss as my head was massaged. The cut is short actually very short and may survive 6 days in a crash helmet.

I then met up with Angela who has just spent time up in Sapa. We talked for an hour about travel and only 10 minutes about school and medway- Flinn was impressed.

The evening was spent doing a food tour of Hanoi - it was great, a definite if you come this way. It was all in back street food stalls and the food was delicious. Thanks Cherry.
