Hanoi

Hanoi, the Capital of Vietnam

Dinner with a view.

We both really like the feel of Hanoi. It is easy to navigate and though many tourists it does not feel as if it is all tourists.  Though noisy with vehicles and tooting horns (warning horns), it is so easy to just wander and meander.  Also, the air is cooler.  There are lots to see and do and more than enough places to eat local and western food. The old section of Hanoi still has the French colonial designed streets and building.

We took a "green tour" in an electric car,  Some stops along the way.
