Hanoi by plane

A lunchtime flight to Hanoi means that this is a bit of a quiet day. It's getting cooler now, even in Hué and by the time we get to Hanoi the shorts have all but disappeared; it's only Matt who is kitted out for the beach in t-shirt and shorts wherever we are. Hué airport is tiny and Hanoi airport not a lot bigger. The inevitable minibus whisks us into town. Our room in the Star View Hotel is our biggest yet, it even contains a 3-piece suite. As we missed lunch, we are booked in for an early dinner - a set menu of 10 courses for 150,000 dong (5€), delicious. Huy leaves us to nip back home for some of his mum's cooking, he looks very smart kitted out in his new suit. We'll see him tomorrow after breakfast for the trip to Halong Bay.
The rest of us take taxis down to the old town where we wander around for a bit. Kerstin finds her first decent cup of coffee in Vietnam and then it's back to the hotel for an early night.
