Day 13 - Ha Noi | Main | Day 15 - Ha Noi
Today we shopped
Its not so much that there is a lot of stuff in Ha Noi that you haven't seen all over the rest of Vietnam, maybe it is because we are coming towards the end of the trip, or we have a better handle on the money or whatever, today we further got into the swing of it buying all sorts of things from DVD's to replica Zippo lighters, to a letterbox, to more watches! I even found the jacket I have been looking for - we found presents for people and I managed to buy the digital camera that Rhonda wanted a little cheaper here than at home.

Vietnam is a cheap holiday we have spent much less than we budgeted, there are a few traps but it is so easy to come here and have a great time on a modest budget and I think we have done incredibly well. Our hotel the Hanoi Elegance boasts a 2 star price for a 3 star feel and that is all true with our deluxe room coming in at $55 per night!
We have another day here then we are going out on Ha Long Bay before we head home.
