Julie & Mike - Day ?

Well, looks like the gang made it to Ha Noi.


Mike: "Arrived in Hanoi after a 14 hour train trip.

First 5 or 6 were fun drinking beer and telling stories about the trip. Great bar car at the back. Had a bit of a birth shared with 3 other small people.

Just checking in to the Flower Hotel."


However, before they left, they had some sightseeing in Hue. And according to Mike:

"Moped tour 3 or 4 hours around Hue. Went to ancient kings tomb. The only king/emperor buried in Vietnam.

Then we went to a "Nunnery" or convent which also served as an orphanage for 200 kids.

Got to play with them for a while which actually was fffffffffun and good to see their happy faces. Also great lunch there."


"We get get to visit "Uncle Ho" who still lives on in the hearts of the people here. Or so they say.

It's almost 5 am here now. We can't check in for a few hours so it's off to tie chi...."


Tai chi?! Mike?

I hope he sends a picture of him doing that. It'll be sure to be hung prominently in Mainstreet.

Okay - so they made it to their destination. Let's see what shenanigans they can get up to over the next couple of days.......

I think I want to know (but then sometimes I think I don't want to know) what the heck this means:

"Had a bit of a birth shared with 3 other small people."

But after 5 or 6 hours of the bar car ...
