Day 23. Hanoi. 21.11.24

Today is our last day to explore in Vietnam. We wandered off to the Old Quarter to have a look and then walked by the lake to catch up with the others for a coffee before wandering back along the otherside of the lake. We walked 6.6 kms. I took a few random shots of buildings and people. Apparently in the Old Quarter some of the narrow streets date back over a thousand years old. They remind me of some of the streets we saw in Istanbul. 

Vietnamese housing. 

The traffic still amazes me. 

Bikes carry a huge variety of things. 

The Old Quarter has an array of small shops selling numerous goods arranged along themed streets.

A whole street that would give Bunnings a run for their money.

Dodging and weaving to try and walk down the pathway. 

We found a whole street full of Christmas. 

So many people posing for photos in Vietnam. 

    Me posing!!

Getting ready for a youth concert outside the Opera house. 

A huge rooftop garden. 

Millions of notes left at the coffee shop by customers.

Our new room upgrade is very luxurious. 

Study/lounge area with it's own balcony. 

Our room.

Separate toilet and shower. 

The room divider has a TV on either side.

Our view.

Treated myself to a massage this afternoon and a long, bubble bath.

One of the little touches in our room. We'd already eaten the banana. 

Everyone is ready to head home tomorrow. 

Tonight's dinner was at Joseph's, hotels restaurant.
