Hanoi heat and photo highlights

The heat index is over 110 (with humidity) and grows hotter each day. The bugs are nibbling on my exposed skin which also has a minor sunburn. Our feet are sore from miles of walking throughout the city...and we're loving every minute of it! One disadvantage for being a tourist in Hanoi on a Monday is that most of the museums and cultural centers are closed on Mondays. I really will try to do some minor musings while on holiday or at least photo highlights but will probably do more post-holiday musings of our experiences once we get home when I actually want to write more.

Off to our overnight trip to Halong Bay this Tuesday and then a train ride down to Central Vietnam, Hue...more adventures and photos to come, yay!
