Day 83 Hanoi 28 April 2012

Ana woke up refreshed after a good 14 hour sleep. After breakfast and some relaxing we understood from the proprietor that we couldn’t go to the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum as planned since it was closed, so we headed to a café instead, a favorite of Catherine Deneuve from the wonderful movie Indochine.
 

After lunch we continued to the Temple of Literature, a nice complex that started off as the first university of Vietnam.  

  

We continued wandering through the city to the Opera, because it had another Highland Coffee (we are great fans). We then headed back to the hotel, along the lake.  

But not before Martijn came across as a giant who could help a group of girls who threw their shoe in a tree. Unfortunately he couldn’t reach it- but he did entertain many onlookers.
