Vietnam Trip - Day1 S'pore-Hanoi

23rd Nov 2010


John and I had meticulously planned this trip for the past one month. This is the first time that we are travelling together with the kids, my parents and my mother-in-law. So, you see it is quite a challenge to ensure that the kids enjoy themselves, while the older ones don’t find it to tiring or boring. It is also a little pressuring on my part, since I was a little worried, about the weather condition in the Sapa highlands.We were also kind of sceptical about the credibility of the local tour agent in Vietnam - Vivu Travel, since we have found them from the website. As it turns out, we are quite satisfied with the tour arranged.

The day started off with everyone waking up at about 4am, so that we can be in time for the early flight on board TR2308 Tiger Airways to Hanoi, departure time 8.00 am. The kids were so excited, they woke up at the slightest pat on the back, and got ready within minutes.

Our hotel, “Indochina 1” at last…

















And fabulous dinner at Quoc An Ngon (the food is considerably good though we were a little pissed off that they wouldn’t let us sit at the open air area, which we think they will only reserved for the Westerners!)The pricing is also reasonably,we ordered quite a lot of dishes and variety and it costed about 660,000 dong (about RM120)
