Saturday, January 2 - Coming just a few hundred kilometers north to Hanoi has made a real difference in temperature. Even in Nha trang, the weather was reaching at least 30 degrees every day. But it's a lot chillier here.
When we landed yesterday, it was drizzly (the first rain we've seen since leaving Malaysia) and only 17 degrees. We had to dig our sweaters out of our backpacks as soon as the luggage came off the carousel.
We walked around old Quarter last night - such a bustling area, full of narrow streets and loads of shops, restaurants, and bars. It's charming, if a bit chaotic with pedestrian and moto traffic. We're anxious to see it in daytime.
so today we're off to do the walking tour outlined in Lonely Planet. We might need to pick up an umbrella or a wind breaker because the weather is calling for rain all day. Our hotel room doesn't have a window, so we're not sure yet what we're up against.
watch out for the street stalls, the old quater is where someone threw up on my leg!
ReplyDeleteI can totally see that. People are eating and drinking on the sidewalks.
