From Hanoi to Halong Bay … One of the 7 Wonders Yet?
March 19, 2009 | 6,602 viewsContinuation from Day 4 – Hanoi Day Tour DIY & Lunch @ Highway 4 Restaurant ….
I’ll breeze through this post as much as possible, as I’m sure most of you would’ve sighed …. “Not another Hanoi post ….. Oh, man …. Episode what now? XXXVII??”
In reality, I’ve only reached Day 4 … moving on to Day 5 with today’s post. Bear with me, the saga will end soon …. =P
After lunch at Highway 4 Restaurant, we proceeded to Dong Xuan Market, to the north of Hoan Kiem Lake. Taxi fare from the restaurant to the market? 30,000 Dong/RM6/USD1.70 for a cab for six. Expectations running high, we were somewhat stumped as the place was far from a shopping paradise, but there were a few steals far and between. The luggage bags, backpacks, souvenirs, ornaments and statues, as well as dried fruits (sweetened/pickled fruits of all varieties) and coffee are worth noticing.
