Vietnam 2013

Hanoi 24 May 2013

Arrived safely to the heat of Hanoi after 3 flights and a long stopover at Singapore. 

 Since we have seen the blockbuster sights we decided to wander the streets and poke our noses into the lesser known sights.

Temple alongside Hoan Kiem Lake sparkling after a heavy but short rainstorm.

Huc ( rising sun) Bridge, constructed in Classical Vietnamese style, connects a little island with the Ngoc Sun Temple to the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake.

Old Quarter street scene - negotiating the price of vegetables.

This is the family vehicle.

A linemans worst nightmare.

Buy your hats here. We are getting the hard sell.

So Elliot has a conical hat and Bill has a beer.
