Arrived in Hanoi this afternoon. Bit of a stressful trip from the airport. The cab driver attempted to rip me off but luckily I had looked up what the trip should cost from the airport before hand. He was a little surprised when I bothered doing the simple arithmetic to work out how much it should cost based on the average speed and cost per kilometer too. Moral of the story, agree on a price before the trip starts, as I was told but forgot. Still ended up overpaying but barely. Not a good start but once I got into the hostel I'm staying at my day improved significantly. Everyone is friendly and everything is so cheap, especially compared to Australia where a pint of beer costs 10 dollars :|.
The weather forecast isn't great for the next week but there's days of sunshine in between the rain so I'm still gonna travel up to Ha Long Bay to climb. Not sure how much internet I'll have there so this may be the last post for a week.
Thanks for reading!
