Here is me playing with the long shutter on my camera

 

We were eating in this café above the busiest junction in Hanoi and there was an accident, no one was hurt but two women had a fight.. Here is the lights from the bikes who stopped to watch!

 

One gave the other a backhand so hard you could hear it in the café!

 

Waiting at the lights and then bam!

Crossing this was a close your eyes and just GO!

 

 

 

This was the better of the three Hanoi beers..

 

Ha Long bay is full of hundreds of these islands, pictured on our way to cat Ba Island

There were fresh fish shops, kids, and even dogs tied 'out the back!'

 

Our boat captain couldn't drive for shit and we hit this guy!

 

 

As his driving was pretty scary in the light arriving in the dark was a bit unsettling!

 

As part of our tour we went to this old Underground Army hospital used during the Vietnam (American) war. This is the bathrooms!

Our tour guide whom only spoke Vietnamese but sung us the Ho Chi Minh Anthem we were to hear many times in Vietnam! 'Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam!!!'

 

 

In Hanoi Bia Hoi (fresh beer) was 10 US cents a glass (10p!), sat on the street on plastic seats! We sat there all day for a dollar!

 

 

I met Tommy in my hostel, he was to be the downfall of avoiding the pub. We both shared a love of evil, daytime drinking!
