Vietnam Stories: Great Time in Vietnam
Wow, coming into Hanoi City from the airport was an eye opener!!! Zillions of motor bikes, buses, taxis, trucks coming at you, beside you, in front, sideways...
We arrived at Jasmine Hotel 2, which is situated across the road from Hoan Kiem Lake, you walk down a narrow lane before you come to the hotel, it is 7 storeys high, no lift. It is family owned and they are all very friendly and went out of their way to please us.
The room was clean, spacious and very asian modern looking. We settled in and decided to hit the streets... crossing the roads is an art in itself, we worked out you do not hesitate because if you do, thats when you will get hit! The bikes go behind you, just watch the buses and taxis, they are not so patient!!

World lost in time is a rare find
I'm feeling guilty. I'm relaxing on the flat-bottomed boat while a woman rows through water-lilies.
What's more, she seems old enough to be my mother (well, at least my much older sister).
Vietnam Travel Destinations: Tam Coc cave and Hoa Lu
Located 110km from Hanoi to the South in Ninh Binh province, Tam Coc cave may be one of the most spectacular sights in Vietnam.
Along the Hoang Long river, vast limestone cliffs rise out of the rice paddies make Tam Coc somehow similar to Halong Bay, thus Tam Coc is also called Halong Bay – on-land.
