We left Hue on the 21st travelling by overnight train to Hanoi. It was certainly with less apprehension this time that we boarded the train. Unfortunately the carriage we had was old, grubby and very noisy but we did manage to snatch some sleep rattling in to Hanoi station at 5.30am.
Luckily our transfer to our hotel was there as we were in a very dodgy part of town, quickly surrounded by people who gave us the impression they would like to relieve us of our wallets.
However all was well arriving at our hotel without incident. We hadn't reserved a room for the night of the 21st and thought we may be spending several hours in the hotel lobby, however on arrival we were offered an upgrade to club level which we couldn't resist as this gave us access to our room and a hot breakfast immediately.
We then spent the day checking out the local area, the hotel is situated on the side of West Lake and is lovely.
