We're here!!!

Hi all,

Arived safely yesterday morning after a VERY long flight. Got settled into the hotel and our rooms have air conditioning, a proper toilet and showers so we are all happy. We met our translater Linh and the girl from helping hands Cao. We had dinner in the hotel yesterday and we got rice, pork and spring roles and for desert we had fruit. We had a walk around the town after dinner and we had everyone looking at us like we had 10 heads, we came back and went to bad because everyone was wrecked.

Today was a very long day we were woken by Joe banging our doors at 7.40 and weren't impressed!!

For breakfast we had bread and greasy rashers that were actually alright and we headed on our way to Hanoi to see lots of different things such as the Ho Chi Min museum, the Ethnic museum, and some water puppet show that everyone fell asleep for except Joe and Brenda and a few other heads.

We all got a ride on a rickshaw through the streets of Hanoi. Finally we went for dinner nd then back to the hotel.

Cheers for now,talk soon!!

(stay tuned for more...)
