Saturday 30th October, Hanoi and Celebration Meal

After our epic journey back to Hanoi and the problems with flooding it was still raining when we awoke. However this did not stop us visiting the old quarter, dodging motor bikes and sight seeing. In the afternoon we had organised a bus tour for the group and went to see the main sites of interest in town including Uncle Ho's Masoleum. Unfortunately he had gone to Moscow for his annual holiday (refurbishment) and was not able to meet us in person.

In the evening we went to see the world famous water puppets before the celebration dinner in a nice restuarant in Hanoi after we had a few beers. Unfortunately I can only publish a few of the pictures taken after the meal on this website but it was a fun evening.
