trains planes and rickshaws

Well after travelling for almost exactly 24 hours and eating at least 6 meals each, we have finally arrived in Vietnam. Just to make everyone jealous, its 29 degrees and sunny. However with 80% humidityn its a bit draining. Today we visited Ho
Chi Ming memorial only to find his body has gone to Russia for treatment!! We have had a great experience so far and are just about to get on the overnight to Sapa. We walked around the lake with Janet in her amazing hat who brought a feeling of ladies day to Hanoi. Mark has just had a dinner of fried grubs everyone has got lost at some at some stage and we all ended up at the prison!! Yesterday was the 1000th anniversary of Hanoi so there were huge celebrations with hundreds of thousands of people. We will be having a pajama party on the train tonight. Will post again soon
