Hanoi - Here we come! (Day 1)

Crashing our heads to rest at around 12mignight, we are greatly relieved that we arrived at our hotel in one piece! Just an hour ago we had been bracing the worst traffic ever experienced. Every foot forward is a tango between motorcycles, cyclos, bicycles, cars and busses. Honks of all types are installed into these vehicles as they crank up an irritating orchestra all along the streets. 

Carrying our back packs we were determined to find our way to the hotel by foot. Unfortunately Hanoi at night is a nightmarish maze of traffic and escaping touts. We ended up cramming onto a motorbike with our backpacks and holding onto dear life as a young bloke brought us to the hotel. We are still in disbelief how 3 adults and 2 full size backpacks made it here safe and sound!
