Once back in Hanoi we were moved hotels a little further Into The Old Quarter due to someone being ill and occupying the room we had booked, happily moved, showered and rested we headed into the city for some dinner, found a lovely little place in the old quarter, stuffed our faces with ribs and pizza then headed to a roof terrace for some cocktails :-) The next day we had to check out at 12 noon but unfortunately we're not catching the train until 10pm.

We grabbed a taxi to the hostel and luckily it wasn't too far. Checked in, showered, went down for a drink but they'd close...

Hoi An...well...beautiful. It's like going back in time, we spent hours after arriving booking the remaining Vietnam trip due to so far never being able to get the transport we want.So much so we've had to settle for one journey (11 hours overnight) on a seat rather than bed, let's see how that goes next week.
