On the boat, they had reusable glass bottles and you picked up water from
dispensers around the ship. No plastic used. Very good.
Dong, helping Martin with his suitcases. |

 |
Martin and Phuong at the rails just after we docked in Halong harbour.
Nice couple. |
 |
 |
Phuong and the cab driver that took
us to the hotel, The Viet 4
Seasons Hotel in Haiphong. Fish farms along
the route. |
 |
 |
Fancy bridge.
More fish farms. Big industry in Vietnam. |
 |
 |
A nice toll boot.
Before crossing a fancy bridge.
Watch the video. Very short. |
 |
 |
On route to Haiphong.
Harbor view.
More harbors.
And even more. |
 |
 |
The
Viet 4 Seasons Hotel in
Haiphong. We stayed here for 4 nights. The bed
was more than big enough and very nice. Phuong also thought that.
|
 |
 |
The pool at the hotel is some
12,5 meters long. The lobby bar with the waiters
there. Nice blokes chatting to Phuong. |
 |
 |
The main railway station in
Haiphong. Pipes for rent at the streets. |
 |
 |
In Vietnam, pavements
are used for bike parking. This asshole blocked
the complete pavement or sidewalk, so people had to go out into the
street to pass this car belonging to an inconsiderate shit. |
 |
 |
Rubbish collectors do a
good job, but they are underpaid and overworked.
Food for jallas, the muslims favorite pigs the get served live so they can
torture them to death. Common sight in Vietnam. |
 |
 |
Phuong in the middle of
town. Martin having a break from all walking. |
 |
 |
Crabs are popular in
Haiphong being a costal city.
Bean roots for
sale. |
 |
 |
Pineapple roots. Small
plant to make big pineapple bushes. The flower
market are full of nice flowers during TET. |
 |
 |
Typical street in
Haiphong, worn.
Lovely Mom with daughter
dressed up in their best TET-clothes. |
 |
 |
Buffet only, not worth
it since Phuong cannot eat the food.
TONKIN Cafe and Restaurant. A stupid place with only exorbitant foreign
beers, no Vietnamese beers and no food! What a shithole restaurant. Never
visit it. |
 |
 |
Haidang Plaza is big shopping center with one restaurant.
The entrance was impressive. |
 |
 |
Half of the items on
the menu was not in stock. They had no bread! Can you imagine that! Big,
nicely decorated but only one guest bar us. The salmon was excellent. A
place not recommended. And only Saigon local beer. No Hanoi nor Halong beer.
Bad :-( Phuong could only eat rice. No
vegetarian dishes. |
 |
 |
Fancy decorations.
The nicest thing about this place was this man outside.
