We took a leisurely trip back from Halong Bay. We first stopped at a little farm on the side of the road. They were growing green onions, basil, beans and a variety of other herbs that I did not know but have recently tasted.
Our next stop was a huge shop with very clean happy rooms. We have been in the habit of calling restrooms happy rooms ever since our tour guide, Quang, coined them happy rooms at the Saigon Reverie. The shop had some great sculptures outside. They were even available for shipping.
Once we arrived at Intercontinental Lakeview Hotel we said our goodbyes to Ang. We had a room with a lovely view again.
We sat by the pool for a little while and had some coffee and cake at the hotel. For dinner we went into Hanoi and ate in the same building we ate at last time, just a different restaurant.
After dinner we wandered through the streets, feeling free from the restraints of a tour guide.
It was a nice last night spending it with Terri and Keith. They are off to home and we are onto our next adventure in Kuala Lumpur on Air Asia.
