Although it might seem like it
from our recent posts, we didn’t spend our whole time in Hanoi playing the “It’s a 3-way!” or avoiding buying every item under the sun! By Hanoi we
really needed some relaxing time and it was Easter after all. We strolled
around Hoàn Kiếm Lake, visited the cathedral, enjoyed coffee(s) in the French Quarter,
promoted our blog, tried bia hoi (the local beer), sampled the local cuisine
and checked out the temple of literature. I think Hanoi has a really nice
atmosphere and it is accessible by foot. I always find being near water very
peaceful and Hanoi is no exception. I really enjoyed coming back to Hanoi at a
time outside of Tet.
Accommodation recommendation
Our hostel in Hanoi, Golden Time was easily one of the best on our trip to date. After the worst experience so far it was so nice to be met with a friendly smile and
welcome drink. (And later welcome mango or welcome lollies...) Golden Time 3 is a bit more central (and more expensive) but either are good
locations.
