Oh the horn honking in Hanoi! And the near fatal misses we experienced while our driver played a game of chicken with every car, truck, bus and moped on the road to Quang Ninh, my god. I'm happy to report I arrived back to the posh Sofitel in one piece, phew. I took lots of shot out the car window, not all fabulous but you get the idea what the countryside looks like. I'm sick as a dog and taking cipro. It's not kicking in as fast as I'd like so I'm lying low today. I hope to see some of hanoi this afternoon. Maybe a quick cyclo ride and some old district shopping. We're dining tonight at Bobby Chins. It's apparently THE place to be seen in Hanoi and he is a top chef constantly in the gossip scene for whom he's dating - you know "the modelizer". Means nothing to me, I just hope he can cook.
