Hanoi Travel Blogs - Page 9

Hey folks!!!! I will carry on the adventure from the 17th Feb where Simon and I spent a full day in Hue! Hue is a city about halfway up Vietnam and the majority of the place is based within the walls of a citadel. We had a bit of a lie in, which was interupted twice by the staff mistakenly coming …

Steph and Susie are off round the world for 5 months. We are starting in India and our last stop is Rio before heading home to get 'proper jobs'. This blog will be a frank 'warts an all' blog. It will document the highs and the lows emotionally, mentally and physically along the way! Follow us on our adventure!

Today we finally arrived in our last destination on our bus in Vietnam.  Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.  We arrived by bus from Hue around 8am.  We got dropped off in a strange location, some random place where they told all the foreigners to wait for a taxi to take us into town.&nbs…

We took a flight from SFO to Taiwan, and from Taiwan to Ho Chi Minh City. From Ho Chi Minh City was another flight to Hanoi up North. In Hanoi, we visited the Ho Chi Minh Masoleum, the Presidental House, the Ho Chi Minh Museum, One Pillar Pagoda, Temple of Literature, and Hoa Lo Prison. Truly a…

I flew all the way over the North Pole, stopped off in Korea, and finally landed in Hanoi, Vietnam. What a trip it was...my brother and his wife, who is from Vietnam, were married here in the states 3 years ago. Her family wasn't able to make it over, so we traveled there to meet her family and have a wedding with them.

SE Asia with no schedule

In 2000 I started to travel around the EurAzian continent. Not in one vacation ofcourse, there is work waiting for me at home, but in leg of 6 weeks. Every journey is about 3000 km long.

Om 07:00 uur staan we op, want we willen vroeg bij de “Temple of Literature”zijn. Om 08:00 uur lopen we het hotel uit en om 08:05 uur zitten we achter op een Xe Oms die ons voor 15.000 dong p.p. naar de tempel brengen. Om 08:15 zijn we er en er zijn verder nog geen toeristen. We maken foto’s …

After several happy days in Sapa, I took the overnight train to Hanoi.  I arrived at five in the morning and spent about an hour watching the locals do their morning exercises around the lake.  I spent the day exploring the old quarter and visiting the Temple of Literature with some frien…

We had 3 seperate stays in Hanoi (arriving from Hue, returning from Sapa and returning from Ha Long Bay) and it was a bit of a disappointing place for us.  Our final hotel (the Little Hanoi Hotel) was again excellent - very clean with great room facilities and friendly staff - accomodation sta…

I was in a charming little town in Vietnam called Hoi An. Ok so charming is way over used to describe small towns by people who stay there for only three days, but Hoi An truly is a unique place, mostly for the custom made clothing! Now, I didn't have any clothes made while I was there but did spen…

This is my trip around India an threw South East Asia, an onward to Aus an NZ

Needed rest to get over the constant travels of the last week or so so I spent most of the day relaxing. Went for a walk around the lake, to the temple on the lake, and to Hoa Lo Prison. After lunch came back to the hotel room and ended up snoozing. Any way have managed to get the blog up to date b…
