day 7 of 7: we reach hanoi before dawn, took an hour’s nap and explored a little, somehow managing to spend all the money we had left…

after breakfast (tofu and fishcake with vermicelli, dipped in fish sauce) served by this sweet old lady, we headed for the ho chi minh mausoleum…

and then the ho chi minh museum, which had extremely odd exhibits. it was like a surrealist’s take on ho chi minh’s life story.

after running around in circles we sit down to sample some grade 1 weasel poo coffee. we bought some coffee back, but i’ve yet to replicate it perfectly.

couldn’t have asked for better weather or travel companions during these seven days, incessant snoring aside…
