We woke around lunch time, still not feeling too great unfortunately and after a slow getting ready we headed to reception to organise a tour for the day and how to get to Hanoi in a few days time. Had quite a shock on the way down the hotel was rammed with a huge buffet and so many many people. After organising a tour around Cuc Phuong National Park the following day we opted to join the buffet as neither of us felt like going out in the blistering heat. Spring ...

After a much needed big lie in we left the hotel and our bags and grabbed a bite to eat on the sea front whilst going over our planned route and making a few changes.
