Globe Trotting Tribe

After Laos, we went to Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. There was lots of people and there were cars and moterbikes everywhere.

Hiking to Nam Xay Viewpoint This was alot more strenous and crowded than I had thought it would be! Backpackers galore, and some ill-fitted in slides/flip-flops for the climb up. In dry season, the dirt underfoot is certainly slippery, and the climb is quite steep, with minimal maintenance (as you'd expect in Laos).  ...
