We arrived in Hanoi at an ungodly hour and were transferred to the city, where we had local breakfast at Pho 24, and then checked in to the Army Tourist Service hotel. The whole day was free to look around Hanoi, do some shopping and to relax, which we all did quite a bit of (resting).
Before we did that, though, we went to visit the Ho Chi Minh museum and Mausoleum. Here we see Tony with one of the guards outside the Mausoleum. If you're wondering about the bemused look on Tony's face, it's because the guard happily agreed to the photo and then grabbed Tony on the backside (heh heh). The picture of Tony and I in front of the Mausoleum is a more subdued one.
In the evening, we went to The Seasons restaurant for our farewell dinner and were entertained by Don and Hobbo, who had prepared a series of limericks, one for each member of "Team Northcott".
