Phuong with her nasal spread in the morning. The training facilities were
very good.
|
 |
 |
Very temping pool on the top floor, the 11th.
Martin and the pool. |
 |
 |
It is nice with an infinity pool on
top of hotels these days. The water held 230 centigrade. Nice for
swimming. Martin dropped his thermometer to
check the temperature. It sank, since it is made of plastic. |
 |
 |
We found some equipment and fished
it out. The breakfast was very neat, simple and
well-tasting. More than sufficient for us fatties. |
 |
 |
Then off to the city to find
Martin's swimming goggles with -6. Off we went
through some back alleys with a meat market. |
 |
 |
The entrance to the shop.
They sell live fish as well. Vietnam is a fishing nation like Norway. |
 |
 |
Martin in the goggles shop with his
-6.
They really had a nice selection. Martins was
420 K dongs, or some 20 USD. |
 |
 |
The name and
model of the goggles. Barcode of the goggles. |
 |
 |
Then off to immigration and
battling the bureaucracy. Very nice, female
officer, Huong Thi My Loan. |
 |
 |
Our hotel.
Time for a beer at the lake.
|
 |
 |
It was an expensive,
not nice restaurant. You paid for the view. And
we left. |
 |
 |
We went to The Coffee
Club, bar and restaurant across the street.
We sat on the 4th floor, overlooking
the city. Nice video of the city's rooftops. |
 |
 |
Another hotel across
the street where we stayed before, or so Phuong says.
Very fancy sink n the toilet. |
 |
 |
Martin in the bathroom
mirror. Puffed rice. Phuong lies to eat it. |
 |
 |
Off with a rickshaws.
Nice way to see the city. Phuong's
video from the trip. Martin and his big
belly. |
 |
 |
Nice driver and Martin.
The main cathedral of Hanoi. |
 |
 |
Phuong and Martin
outside the cathedral. There are more traffic
cops in Hanoi than elsewhere. |
 |
 |
They actually show up
to work. Vietcom Bank has a very nice display
many places in town. |
 |
 |
The opera of Hanoi with
Phuong's camera. The cathedral with Phuong's
camera. |
 |
 |
The opera of Hanoi.
Another 5 years plan. |
 |
 |
Some monument of some
wars fought. Weddings are popular on Friday the
13th. |
 |
 |
Beers are cheap and plentiful in Vietnam.
Another wedding is taking place. |
 |
 |
Valhalla pub. Nice
Nordic name. Ahn's place. |
 |
 |
Good by to our rickshaw
driver. He did a good job. In the evening in the
beer street of Hanoi with Montana. |
|
 |
Phuong, Martin and
Montana at a quiet stretch of the beer street.
Montana and Martin having a nice chat alongside the street. |
 |
 |
Martin's beer for the
evening. 9 bottles or 3 liters of Hanoi Beer. Very good though.
The life of the beer street.
Watch the video. |
 |
 |
Sales pitch.
Busy street |
 |

Evening view.
Time to go back to the hotel and a sleep. |
