I wake up in the early hours of the morning as we pull in to a wet and miserable Hanoi for the last night here in Vietnam. And as a treat, I booked myself into a hotel, Green Street Hotel, in the old quarter of Hanoi, my favourite area for its hustle and bustle assuming it has not changed much in the few years since I was here. At the hotel my room was already ready for my super early arrival and the reception guy came up with a refreshing welcome lemon drink whi...

Not feeling too hungover but shattered we headed down for the buffet breakfast, where I ran into Hannah, Chloe and Eleanor who had just arrived, we all had a quick chat over breakfast before Victoria and I packed and checked out waiting for our pick up.

We all slumped about the hostel bar/restaurant for what breakfast we could get down us and proceeded to slump around the pool until our buses around. I was travelling to Dalat with Hannah and a couple of Dutch girls and when our mini bus arrived we assumed it must be dropping us off at a bus depot to pick up a proper bus, as this mini bus was hot, no air con...
