We are staying in this incredible apartment overlooking at a Lotus Field, looks magical and just unreal!

We made our way to Ninh Binh!

Last night we learned how to cook three Vietnamese dishes at Thái Mà’s home. Lovely evening at her rooftop overlooking Hanoi! We had quite a feast :)

We’ve just spent a couple hours in the Vietnamese Women’s Museum in Hanoi, such a fascinating place that brings to show how everyday women’s lived/live here. Totally recommended if you find yourself in Hanoi 🇻🇳

Breakfast can’t ever be the same after having Bánh cuốn today at Bánh Cuốn Gia Truyền Thanh Vân in Hanoi, it was delicious!

Last night we had some nice sugary fruit bowls with condense milk and coconut milk, mine just had mango and Anna’s had mixed fruit. They were absolutely delicious!

Of course, here’s the most touristy pic so far of the trip, probably the only place we really saw other tourists! It’s easy to get lost if you’re confident and get by with the locals, they are mega friendly and even if you don’t share language it’s amazing what you can achieve.

This morning at the colourful “Temple of Literature”, it was really nice but absolutely roasting so if you’re planning on visiting in the summer I’d recommend to do it either early in the morning or late afternoon.

Night life in Hanoi just as vibrant as you’d expect, this city barely sleeps.

Hanoi from the sky!

Trotting around “Đền Ngọc Sơn” temple in Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi.

Just a glimpse into yesterday’s lunch time colours, what a nice day that was ☀️

Today we’ve tried the infamous Egg Coffee which to my lovely surprise it’s absolutely delicious, I’m a massive fan of coffee and custard but together oh man together are just 🥰

Time to chill, recharge batteries and plan tomorrow, I can’t believe we made it after all :-)

The colours are so vibrant, lovely cafe called Bún Thang Bún Bung. Cheap and mega cheerful Pho Ga, the broth was deep in flavour and really clear.

Lovely dinner tonight on a total casual walk around the edges of our apartment, you really can’t go wrong with Vietnamese food.

Lovely rugged wall at Cafe Đinh.

Anna and I enjoying a lovely condense milk coffee at Cafe Đinh, woke up is immediately after having had no sleep on the last flight connection.
