Sometimes you need a break even from your holiday, so, I am escaping from the hassles in Hanoi and am going ahead with my tour to Halong Bay tomorrow anyhow. I think bobbing about on boat surrounded by natures best is just what I need before I undertake the website for this rather strange little hotel I am staying in.

I must say that Iam still a fan of Hanoi no matter whether it has climbing tea leafs or not. I have gotten into quite a groove with my walks around the lake, fine local breakfasts and some of the people they have around here.
