Vietnam & Cambodia Tour
Friday Feb 21, 2014

Hello from Hanoi, Vietnam. Today was a comfortable 17C and after almost 24 hours of travel we are off to a great start. This afternoon we visited and photographed various locations around West Lake in Hanoi. We enjoyed the photographing at various locations as we circled the lakes in electric cars.

Later in the afternoon we held a photo shoot in the old part of Hanoi walking through the markets and small store fronts. They offered up many photo opportunities. We then wrapped up our first day by attending a Water Puppet Show compete with a live orchestra and dinner at the Press Club.

Tomorrow we have a full day here in Hanoi, including an early morning visit to an old Flower Marker. We hope you enjoy the selection of today’s travels.

We were out on the observation deck and photographed this taxi cab on one of the airport runways.

People working in the rice fields just outside the airport. You might have plots of land to grow your crops but they are owned by the government.

The busy streets of Hanoi.

Would you like some rice and noodles?

These are the electric cars we used to circle west lake today.

How about a romantic swan ride on the lake?
