Hanoi and North Vietnam

After the incredible zen-ness of Siem Reap and the temples, we were jolted back to the modern world in Hanoi.

Hanoi, like its sister to the South, is vibrant, chaotic, and full of life.  Again, I liked it immediately.

So much of life is lived on the street. Seems on every corner there are people hawking goods or services.

And while Vietnam is famous for its street food, some things weren’t worth trying…despite the lovely presentation.

Staying connected in Vietnam is becoming easier by the day, but they may want to consider wireless technology.

Ha Long bay offers respite from the delightful chaos of Hanoi.  Unfortunately, we didn’t have the best weather and shared the waters with so many boats I thought once that we might be re-filming Dunkirk.

The Mekong, Vietnam and Cambodia were an incredible part of this journey and should be on everyone’s bucket list.  Yes, the heat was oppressive at times, but I would not have missed this for the world.

Next stop…The Middle East.
