Hanoi 6.30pm

Hello, any one would think I have nothing else to do but blog.
We found a good guest house (well Frans did) in the old quarter, nice big room.
Spent the day walking around and applied for a visa extension as our 30 days are up tomorrow.
We want to do a Halong Bay trip and have decided to go and come back in the same day, not because of recent events (for any one who doesn't know a tourist boat sank there a week ago in the early hours killing 11 people) but because we feel that we can see what we want to in a day and it's expensive to stay on a decent boat.
After a few days here we plan to go on a 10 hour over night train to Sapa, even more north, almost to the border, the pictures look beautiful and as it's high up there are amazing views if we get lucky with the weather, there are 2 day trekking options with a night homestay with a local family, so that will keep us busy gor the next week or so.
All this traveling and planning gets tiring at times, right off now for the usual wine and dine.
