Well we made it! Both flights were fantastic, as we got off the plane that familiar smell of Vietnam washed over us and we immediately felt that it was warmer even though it was night time. Our driver was waiting for us when we walked out of the Hanoi airport. Perfect right? How awesome is this...
Drive in was amazing. Kim fell asleep on my lap while I took in all the amazing sights. Beautiful night markets, karaoke bars galore and people eating everywhere even though it was 11 pm. Kim woke up as the driver pulled up to an alley for drop off but there seemed to be some confusion with the guy meeting us. The address didnt seem right but there was some insisting to off we went down to alley to a completely different hotel then we had booked. Hmm. Quickly figured out ours was up the street so we started to trek it when who shows up a block later, our driver lol. So sorry, so sorry, I take you now. Yup. Got back in, hopped out at the next alley. This time hes leading us past all this amazing street food, focus Cary, focus. Then around the corner and into the darkness... now even our driver seems lost. Are you kidding me?! But the street vendors tell us to push on, with big smiles and sure enough there is our hotel in the pitch black. The power is out. We are handed flashlights and room keys. Dont care, must sleep at this point!
7 hours later, showers and refreshed we hit the alley in the light and there is a pho lady not 15 steps away. Jack pot! Its just so delicious and amazing as it hits your lips. Ahh. We are here at last:)
