Hanoi - Just a quick update to let everyone know that we arrived here safely. Crossing the border from China to Vietnam was an experience, to say the least. Guards and police everywhere and hoards of people.To top it all off, there was torrential rain.
Hanoi is a city that defies all imagination. Toronto is like a country village in comparison. It feels like all3.5 million people who live in this city live within 2 square km. This morning we are getting another bus toHalong City, where we will join a 3-day tour in Halong Bay. It's a bay filled with 6000 islands and we're traveling aboard a "junk" (Asian river boat) and then to Cat Ba island in a hotel.We will likely be out of communication for the next few days.We are all safe and well and happy.

Hi guys - looks like you are truly having the dream vacation. I've been sharing the blog with the kids. Teddy was impressed that you saw the Great Wall of China - he's only seen the Wiggles there before now.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great time in Vietnam.

ReplyDeleteYou guys should check with the consulate before heading to Thailand (if that's where you're going next) becauase the Canadian govt had issued some travel advisories and warnings about certain ares (Bangkok).
