Hanoi Morning Walk

Our walk this morning. We're back at the room to get my passport. The weather is delightfully cool. I'm wearing a long sleeved shirt, though now at almost 1pm a t shirt would also be fine. So this will be mostly pictures with minimal commentary.



All was great as we learned to negotiate the motorcycles until I tried to get money from the ATM machine. I did get my receipt. But no money and no card back.




Michael, in the hotel where we found the ATM machine, was helpful. This isn't too unusual. But he couldn't get through.


We walked on to the travel agency the Australian couple at breakfast recommended. She called and got through. They are going to try to get our card and we might be able to pick it up at 2pm nearby. If yes, we'll go to Halong Bay tomorrow.






If not, we'll try to get the card tomorrow, Saturday, and go for just one day. So we slowly wondered on, using a walking guide to the Old Quarter of Hanoi as a general guide. Different streets have shop after shop of the same item. Sewing stuff, travel shops, shoes, kitchen stuff, etc.
