At 6 am we were underway to Hanoi. This time we were three since Katherine took time off work to join us for a extended weekend. We arrived in Hanoi at 10 AM and for the first time since arriving in Vietnam it was cold ,just 18°C. Hanoi is smaller than HCMC – only 4 million people and the architecture is different. It also is overrun by scooters but it is less frantic and less aggressive than HCMC. Our hotel was in the old quarter, which seems to be the shopping district of Hanoi, so Joan and Katherine went shopping and I went to visit the Temple of Literature. It was the way I expected a temple to be – it took up the whole block and was surrounded by a nice courtyard and gardens.
