We Had a really long train journey to Hanoi which took 12 hours, but we made it fun we sat in one room with Gordon,Mike,Amo,Aaron,Mark and Kate and we all decided after a few games of crads it was time to put the music on and do the conga through the bus, Much to the Vietnameses amusment. So we arrived at Hanoi at 4.30 am and had to get a 3 hour bus journey to Halong Bay. We were very lucky that the weather had cleared, as the two groups before us were unable to ...
