Good Morning Vietnam!

Hey again,

Not much to say, just that i arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam this morning. We flew at 7am from Vientiene and it certainly was less stressful or mind numbing than the alternative 24 hour bus journey.

The plane was very small and i hadn't heard great things about Laos airways. I was plesently surprised, staff were lovely and the plane was in good condition. The short flight meant that the incline and decline were extremely fast so not one for the fear of flying. I was happy as we were served a patti type sandwich with a chocolate muffin and tea!

Have settled into a guesthouse for the night and we may check out others to see what we're missing. The traffic is extreme, there are no rules and crossing the road looks like an impossibility. Women with the two hanging baskets over their shoulder somehow manage it...think it may take a while to perfect the art. At any one time you just appear to be surrounded by about 50 motorbikes, honking horns fills the air all the time.

Will let you know more about Hanoi soon
