Saturday, 10 January 2026: last full day in Hanoi

 

Day 53 I am trying not to count.


Before breakfast I talked to the tour desk in our hotel. We’ve done most of this on our own, but today, I reached out for help. Now we had our travel lined up to go to Cat Ba Island.


After breakfast I headed out for a manicure while Justin tried to catch up on posts.  


We knew we couldn’t leave Hanoi without going to the big market — Dong Xuan Market

We opted for a pedi cab -- that was an experience in itself.  I should have taken pictures during the ride.  At the market, amidst the cultural chaos, we bought fabulous cashews.  And we both got new earbuds.  Yea!!









Setting up for the night market











Look at all the red!!!  Getting ready for new years and TET.








All in all, we did our darndest to conquer the 36 alleyways of the Old Quarter.
