Hanoi by Day.

Lots to see but never enough time! We did consider going down to the Perfumed Pagoda but ended up revisiting the popular landmarks of Hanoi.
The Ho Chi Minh mausoleum was our first stop and we joined the crowd to file past. Many friendly faces in the crowd especially a group with young children from China. Missed out on photos of this as guards would not let us take them as we were close to the viewing
Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum.

Roses grow in the North. I am sure that Uncle Ho would like them!

At the Temple of literature. Joining the locals celebrate their graduation. This was Vietnam's first university
Tran Quoc Pagoda on West Lake
Tran Quoc Pagoda
The dry goods section of main markets  Any guess as to what is in front centre basket?
This one is easy
The Dong Xuen Markets. They are huge!
