Back to Hanoi we went. To the same hotel we were at 2 nights prior. I took this day easy, managed my sun burn, took a great shower, and wrote back to some e-mails I had been delaying on. I unpacked my whole suitcase too... it was time to prepare for New Zealand.
That night we had the best Vietnamese dinner of the tour, at one of the 5 restaurants named Little Hanoi, in Hanoi. Everything was so tasty and so cheap. My dinner cost 4 dollars, and I was stuffed. It's going to be culture shock when I get to a western country... like New Zealand, and have to pay 'normal" prices for things.
After we went to the bar next door and had a drink before we started to say goodbye. It was hard, 1/2 the people I was leaving I had known for a month, we had shared stories and more so we had shared this awesome experience of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. The worst part of the tour is the goodbyes, because you may and most likely will never see these people again. However, with Facebook being what it is, I think I will be in touch with these people more often than I was able to be in touch with the friends I made back in early 2006 when facebook was yet to be international.
