We got back to the hotel in Hanoi at 5am ish, nicer hotel than first time on Hanoi, 3 to a room so we got showered, freshened up, slept for half an hour the breakfast at 6.30 before leaving to airport at 7.30am. Flight left Hanoi at 10.45am after purchasing couple more things!! Quick flight, only hour and half, enough time for meal and then we touches down in hong kong. Enough time for some duty free shopping before connecting flight to london! Flight duration=...

So, I already said that there were 24 of us in the group...... First people I met were the ladies from Glasgow; helen, Lindsay, Jane and Jayne. Then there was Audrey and Jo from galashiels. Susan and Susan from Inverness and Karen from Glasgow. We all met in the ibis hotel in heathrow before we took the flight to Hanoi. On the flight I was sitting next to Sean and Chris. Both travelled separately, and both great fun, absolutely hilarious infact, we got on really...

So, the drinks we are now used to are oozo and rice wine! We all were given a shot when we reached the top and finish line yesterday, it heated us up, and was great after all long day on the bike! On the bus heading to train station now and the weather isn't as good down here, very foggy and viability isn't great. On the way home now......

After 600km on the bikes, this is definitely the life!! Hahaha

Sitting on the sun terrace enjoying the fantastic weather and beautiful scenery!! Been all around the area and got couple of souvenirs and some gifts for the family. Had a look around the food Market, it's amazing!! Everything is so cheap!! It would be cool if I could bottle up the smells for back home, it's great. Had lunch at a little Italian restaurant, it was great having pizza for a change!!! Yum yum!! We are so high up here, the hills are covered in clouds...
