Hanoi

After our whirlwind tour of Angkor Wat and the other temples of Siem Reap, we jetted off to Hanoi, still without Liz's lost luggage. But thankfully I was finally reunited with my suitcase, since my two lightweight sundresses weren't going to cut it in chilly Hanoi. We also met up with our good friends, Dani and Alberto, for this leg of the trip. It's always a good time with our favorite Columbians!

The city is utter chaos - something like 2 million motorbikes zip along in every which way, navigating around pedestrians and vendors. Power lines sag across the streets in huge bundles. It was definitely a change from our last stop. Here's a pictorial overview of our time in Hanoi.

Motorbikes and clothing stores aplenty

The kids here were freaking adorable

Chaos! Crossing the street made my heart palpitate

More cute kids

Rush hour here is INSANE
