Hanoi (and the rest of Vietnam) after the Tet is just a no-man land, everything is close. Only some small restaurant are still open so we could find something to eat, mainly Pho (if not only). We stayed at our friends' place for two days doing the laundry, catching up on emails and trying to organise the rest of our trip. This was a little more difficult than planned as all the train up north were full and most buses also were. We finally found a bus to Lao Cai (last town before China). We are on the roll again!
Plus rien ne se passe, toute la ville est mortibus et tous les magasins fermés, seuls quelques boui-boui sont encore en état de marche, ce qui nous permet de manger des Pho à tour de bras
. On essaie aussi d’organiser notre voyage mais toutes les places de trains et bus sont prises, c'est un peu la cata. Après beaucoup d’efforts on finit par trouver deux places de bus pour Lao Cai. C’est la dernière ville avant la Chine. Après deux jours de pause à Hanoi, on est reparti!
