Day 3 in hanoi was a nice hike in BanVi national park. We went for a 5 mile hike up to about 1200 meters. At the top was a small pagoda for the mountain gods. Of course the view was fogged in. It always is for us. So we didn't see anything at all despite the effort. But it was still a good hike and worth the effort. When we got back to the hotel we had a well deserved beer and some photos noodle soup to fortify ourselves.
The next day it was off to HaLong bay
. The bay is a fascinating place with karst projections dotting a shallow bay. Highlights included a visit to a floating fishing village (a bit touristy for my taste) and a wonderful morning tai chi class on the top deck for sunrise
