Its hard to believe but we’ve been in Vietnam for almost 2 weeks. We spent four days in Saigon, 6 days in Hoi An and the rest we’ve been in and around Hanoi. We’ve been to Marble Mountain, Danang, Hue and Halong Bay. We were to have gone to Sapa this Friday night but both Phil and Pete have either food poisoning or a tummy wog. We started a day tour of Hanoi this morning but Pete was feeling so bad he had to call it quits after two hours. The day trip took us to visit Uncle Ho in his mausoleum, the Presedential Palace, Ho’s museum, the Museum of Ethnology, The Museum of Literature, West Lake and some pagoda there, Hoan Kiem Lake and to finish it off we had a cyclo ride around the Old Town. The cyclo ride wasn’t too bad after the first five minutes.
