Hanoi - Walk About and Vietnamese National Museum

Tuesday, February 13, 2018

For our final full day in Hanoi, we decided to relax and slow down the pace. Dwayne went down for breakfast at 8:30. Carla decided to stay in bed and asked Dwayne to bring her something when he came back. After breakfast, we walked down to the Vietnamese National Museum and discovered it was closed for lunch. To pass the time, we went for lunch ourselves. On the way, we bought some pop-up cards for the grand-kids and mailed them at the nearby post office. We walked down to Hoan Kiem Lake and ate at Pepper Lunch which is a chain of Japanese restaurants. They were out of the first three items we selected from the menu. We ended up with soup, chicken, salmon, rice and steamed lettuce with cola to drink. The food arrived at the table piping hot. They were out of ice cream. So, we crossed the street and got some at McDonald's. We finished out the afternoon at the museum and returned to our hotel where we drank beer on the hotel's rooftop lounge. Dinner was at Pizza Hut. Tomorrow, it is off to India. We are flying Malindo Air. Hope the plane stays in the air.
