As usual, our first vacation of the year will be on March.
This year, we choose Hanoi! One of the UNESCO heritage.
Reason being is the air ticket was so cheap and we'd never been to Vietnam.
We booked our stay and tour with Hanoi Guesthouse. And I would like to say, we'd made the right choice. With only USD26/ room/ night, the room is very comfortable for us. And the staffs are super friendly too.
The only drawback was the inconsistent hot shower.
After having our breakfast in the guesthouse (they actually compliment us with free breakfast upon our arrival although we have not check in yet); we discussed with the tour desk staff about city tour. They recommended us to take a trishaw for a different tour experience.
It cost us VND150k/ hour. The trishaw man will wait for us while we touring the places we told him to stop us.
This is how the car in Hanoi looks like. Very dirty that all of sudden, I think my car is in OK condition.
This is how most of the coffee shops looks like.
Stalls.
Our first stop.. Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.
The trishaw man waited for us while we walk around this area.
He then fetch us to Literature Temple.
It's drizzling the whole journey and the temperature was 14' celcius.
We used 3 hour for this tour and the trishaw man charged us VND500k; requesting us to add additional VND50k as tips. =.=lll
Overall, it's a new experience of city tour for us - using trishaw. With the traffic condition in Hanoi city, using trishaw for tour was scary at first. However, we then realise that everyone will tolerate each other to avoid accident. We felt safe and enjoy our ride in the cold environment. Nice start of the trip! :)
