A Few Days in Hanoi
Arrived in Hanoi the other day and our hotel is very good with the most excellent staff. With a good pho ga in my belly each morning we head out into the noise and traffic which is so much a part of Hanoi.
A good walk around all our old haunts to reacquaint ourselves with this city and some good eating places. A definite in Hanoi is a drink at the Cityscape cafe overlooking the lake and surrounds. Our favourite coffee place OriBerry is still there near the cathedral and a cha ca at the 69 restaurant ticked off the list.
As we wander the streets of the old quarter on Saturday night they start closing off some of the streets to traffic and the place is hopping with street music, buskers, traditional and modern. People eating and drinking and just enjoying the onset of Summer. This is so great to be able to walk around the old quarter without having to compete with the normal traffic. If you have been to Hanoi you should revisit there is so much happening.
I always love walking the markets because of the colours and textures, the grains, herbs and spices on display
But I don't always like what I find
