Vietnam Day 8: Ha Long Bay to Hanoi

It was raining cats and dogs the night before and luckily the weather was fine on that day. We had packed our bags and were waiting for the bus to take us to the jetty.

After the 4 hour journey, we were back at Hanoi and it was still pouring. We braved the rain and ran along the back alley back to our hostel. We were completely drenched and headed up to our rooms to wash up.

While waiting for the rain to stop, we watched tv for around an hour or two in our rooms. We headed back outside about evening time for dinner and some shopping.
