Vietnam and Cambodia - Hanoi

Hanoi, Ho Chi Mingh's Mausoleum
Museum of Literature, Hanoi 











Hello, I managed to get a few hours sleep last night, but was wide awake at 01.00am this morning, got up, had some paperwork to do and then read until it was time to get ready for work at 06.30.  

Today was very much a "city" tour ... starting of at Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, followed by time in the grounds, visiting the House on Pillars ... next it was onto the Vietnam Ethnic Museum, a wonderful insight into the ways of life of the country in the past. On to the Museum of Literature, after this visit it was time for lunch (13.30) .. had a nice lunch which consisted of ...Hanoi Fish Soup, Fried Spring Rolls followed by Stir Fried Beef with tomatoes and Onions, Deep Fried Fish with five spices sauce, Sautéed Pork with chilli and lemon grass, Sautéed Eggplant with garlic, Steamed Rice. Dessert was Grilled Banana. All very nice and washed down with Hanoi Beer !!

After lunch we continued to the Museum of Fine Arts, a great collection of works by Vietnamese artists. And finally we went to the Water Puppet Show, a music and story show, telling old myths etc ..  and that was it for the day back to the hotel and a free evening  ... tonight I am not going out just ordered a burger for dinner via room service ... just been delivered ... see pic below !!!! Have a great day  ... for me finish my burger and then bed ..

Room Service Burger ..... Delicious
