Out and about today we snapped some shots along the way.A typical Lacquerware shop, bright and colorful.
T-shirts for sale all throughout the Old Quarter.
This is one of our favorite intersections to watch the traffic merge. There are more close calls than we bother counting. Always a challenge for pedestrian traffic.
We have been told that there are approximately 4 million motorbikes on the road in Hanoi. They are parked everywhere!
Many still use pedal bikes. Surprisingly I see a lot of school children (who don't look a bit frightened) in uniform making their way to and from school each day. Picture Kaylee McQuillin riding amongst speeding taxi's, motobikes and cars on her way to school.
It never ceases to amaze me what people carry on their bikes. A bicycle is a very valuable means of transportation around Hanoi. We had a good day, it has been cooler than a week ago so we have been out and about more. We both have really enjoyed our time here in Vietnam. We only wish we could have seen more of the country and of course had Stella here with us. It is going to be so great to see Stella on Saturday and be able to introduce her to Hadley.
