Saturday, January 2 – We already mentioned that the weather in Hanoi was quite a bit cooler and wetter than anywhere else we’ve been in Asia. And we were concerned that the weather was only going to get worse when we struck out on a two day sailing trip (including an overnight aboard ship) to Halong Bay on the east coast of northern Vietnam.
Rather than freeze for two days, we agreed to splurge and buy a couple of windbreakers – just in case it got rainy.
But in walking around town, we weren’t having a lot of luck finding a cheap jacket that didn’t also come with track pants. We checked the local market to no end, and countless stores, until we finally came across a used clothing store right as we were about to finish our walking tour.
We were able to get two light nylon jackets for only $20. Perfect.
Of course, then the weather warmed up and we had no use for them, but that’s beside the point.
