Hanoi

The modern capital of Vietnam. We arrived in the small hours of Tet morning (e.g. new-years eve - but feels more like Christmas to us westerners) so everything was all closed up. We went and saw Ho Chi Mihn himself (on display in his tomb), where they also have preserved his house and offices.

Our group leader showed amazing hospitality by inviting us all back to her parents house for Tet lunch (think Christmas dinner)!! She has a kiwi ex-pat husband.
