After a quick stop Hue we got on another night bus to Hanoi. This bus was a lot more comfortable and we all managed to sleep reasonably well. Having said that when we got in to our hotel room we all crashed out. Late afternoon we took a stroll to the old quarter and the lake. It looked a nice city and had very modern shops. The old quarter had smaller streets with lots of places to eat. After choosing one we went to the famous junction where there is the cheape...

You would have thought that nothing is on time in Asia but when our pickup for the night bus to Vietnam was 40 minutes late we started to worry a bit! Luckily the hostel staff were right and there was 'no need to worry' and we didn't miss the bus. It seats were horrible but ours were better than some people as in true Asian style they had over booked the bus so some were on the floor for the 20hour journey!! We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City at about 11am and ...
