Back to Hanoi and Halong Bay

There is a Buddha in heaven. We have wood veneer and clean sheets on our train this time, a big improvement on our outgoing journey.

After our almost disaster with the passports we have dinner at the Vietnam Hoa and wait for our courier whilst downing a few cold ones. We were extremely grateful when he finally arrived.

Once underway we downed a few more in the hope of inducing some sleep. We then began the hat fashion parade and had a few laughs. Unfortunately our imbibing had the opposite effect and little sleep was had.

Back in Hanoi a pleasant surprise greeted us when the porter from our hotel met us with a taxi. We were given a room so we could shower. Boy did that feel good.
