After a rather confusing journey trying to find the correct hotel (they’re all called such similar things!), we arrived at Charming Hotel 2, Hanoi.
We loved Hanoi, although we did next to nothing in it before Sue and Brendan (my parents) arrived. Our days were spent wandering about looking for bargains, going to cafes, eating King Roti buns (oven bottom buns with chocolate in them) and going to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2!
Livin’ the fast paced life
One trip we did manage to drag our carcases out for was to the Temple of Literature, the oldest university in Vietnam, dating back to the 13th century.
In front of the Turtles of Famous Alumni. And your university just sends you an annual begging letter…
Sacred halls of learning
Smiley happy people in front of the royal gateway, the symbol of Hanoi
Other than that, we just hung out and waited for my parents to arrive- bliss.
