Back to Hanoi

We arrived back in Hanoi last night from Halong Bay, the traffic was awful, it took us an extra hour to get through it. We arrived at our hotel and the bags were still there, thank god! We haven't got our visa for Laos yet and told by the hotel that we couldn't get it at the border and they could organise it for us and get the passports sent to us, but travel agents over here need to be taken with an entire salt shaker. I checked it out and it's all good.

Today we were walking around Hanoi, lots of interesting streets, we are currently looking for a street that is filled solely with Christmas decorations but so far we haven't found it.

Night (s)train tonight to Sapa (14 hours) we are travelling in the first class cabin (it was $4 extra). Might need to dig out the valium!!
