Day 1: What a rush! ..what it's like on day 5, you can read below:-))
After three days of peace and quiet in our ghost town of Halong, now a metropolis.
We stroll through the busy streets and suddenly find ourselves in front of the traditional water puppet theater.
Luck accompanies us and we get the last tickets for the show that is just beginning. Puppeteers stand behind a curtain in the water and the puppets play on the water.
There will also be live music and spoken dialogues. Class!
For breakfast there is soup with 🥢- no joke! The chili pepper is chopped into small pieces and garlic slices are kindly placed next to it in the bowl.
The tourist program includes a visit to Trainstreet. Coffee and beer are served next to the railway line that runs between the houses.
When the train passes through everyone has to stand up because there isn't enough space between the train and the wall of the house to sit!!! Crazy.
In Hanoi's Old Quarter, each guild had its own street. You can still see this today: silk/fabric merchants, basket makers, silversmiths and bamboo ladder street. Exciting.
So: 5 nights later
> we've gotten used to having mopeds, bicycles and buses around us in front of us and behind our backs while we walk as smoothly as possible across the street when the green light is green.
> we somehow learned to appreciate the lively interaction, coexistence and coexistence
> We were often approached by very friendly German-speaking Vietnamese who themselves or their families had good experiences with German
> we looked at everything here and drifted through the alleys and cafes for hours
> we had a relaxed and delicious birthday with small gifts
...> so we continue our journey today, cam on (thanks) Hanoi
