Vietnam Day 9: Hanoi to Perfume Pagoda (Part 1)

We parted ways with Terence who went back to Singapore earlier for his grandfather's funeral in the morning and the 3 of us went for the perfume pagoda day tour. It costs US$20 for the day tour which starts at 7.30 am until evening time.

We sat on the minibus which took about 12 people and headed on our journey there.

Abundant rowers waiting for us

The 3 of us were sitting together with a Vietnamese who studies in NUS and had a chat with him along the way to Perfume Pagoda.
