Today we have the day to ourselves until our 17:00 meeting with World Expedition’s cycling tour group. Our quest is to see the “Hanoi Hilton” that Senator John McCain was in and to also find some rambutan fruit.
Mission accomplished (including finding a rambutan) Had a good morning exploring (getting lost) in the old quarter of Hanoi. We got pretty good at crossing in traffic too. Fun fact: traffic lights, one way signs, etc are just a suggestion here. The most people we’ve seen on a motor scooter at one time has been 5 so far.
We had our group dinner tonight outside of Hanoi Centre at a family that does cooking classes in Hanoi. The group is mostly from the UK and Australia. At our table was Elena from Canada, plus Graham and Chris from Australia.
Love the railroad tracks down the middle of the street. Don’t think I’d be a fan of the egg coffee. How’s the wine there?
Wine is fair. No Vietnamese wine so it’s basically from Australia.
Mmmm. Egg coffee!
