By Day 3 we were feeling that we had a bit of a handle on our little piece of Hanoi. Everything we did needed careful planning, from crossing the street to working out where these crazy streets were. The maps seemed to bear no relation to the actual reality of the situation. You just had to pick out some landmarks and trust your judgement! Fortunately we had the Lake and St Joseph's Cathedral as our reference points: thanks to the Catholics for taking the high ground.
We found our way to theTraditional House in Ma May Street, one of a few such reconstructed homes from the 19th century. From there we wandered over to the History Museum, then took a cyclo to the Women's Museum.
That was a big day, so a stop at the Hanoi Social Club was in order, on the way back to the hotel. Thanks Maddie!
Tomorrow, off to Halong Bay.
