Hanoi at night

Hanoi is a bustling city that is packed with every form of transport but at night it assumes a special face. We have been staying near Hoan Kiem Lake and the night reflections have been great. We also enjoyed some special meals

The Ngoc Son temple. Locals call it the Lake of Returned Sword from when the magical sword was returned and following victory against the Chinese the Golden turtle returned to the lake.

The Hanoi water puppets. We enjoyed them as much as our last visit. I don't think it has changed!

We save money by drinking cocktails! Gail does not mind making these sacrifices. Robert is drinking Hanoi beer! It is cheaper than the water and much better for you.
