Next stop of our trip was a few days in Hanoi which is the location of the old capital of Vietnam. We stayed at this great boutique hotel called the Hanoi Elegance Ruby hotel. The room was $45/night but the service and staff were 5 star quality. We were very impressed.

A typical street in Hanoi- motorcycles driving everywhere and parked everywhere. The sidewalks were typically used as makeshift restaurants so most of the time we were dodging motorcycles and cars as we walked down the street.

Kingsley and I on some bridge that leads to a buddhist temple. Most Vietnamese people say they are buddhist.
Last thing we did was visit the Ho Loa Prison also famously known as the Hanoi Hilton. It use to be a prison where the french kept communist leaders. During the war with America the prison was used to hold POW including John McCain. Please note on the sign above that "no frolicking is allowed during the visit"
