After a cold shower I ventured out into the now 'cool' temperature of 34 degrees. Not feeling quite brave enough for street food yet, we headed to a fancy Vietnamese restaurant for some grub! Dinner was delicious! So delicious that I didn't even manage to take a compulsory foodie blogger photo of the beautifully displayed food on its presentation platter! Instead I hoofed my noodles and meat into a bowl and got stuck in!! We shared a spring roll, 2 mains, 2 waters and 2 huge beers and the whole thing only came to about 12 dollars!!
After dinner we took a stroll through the streets of Hanoi and admired the lake by night. The whole place looked beautiful. I adored the Orange flower decorations that frame the streets.
When the heat became too much for us again we decided to venture up to the top of a twenty story building to have a cocktail. The rooftop was sky high as were the prices but all worth it for the breath taking views. Our drinks cost about three times the price of the dinner but the twinkling lights of the city made the experience priceless.
Feeling a little jet lagged with tired feet from all of the walking we decided t continue in our theme of luxury. What better way to follow a cocktail than with a foot massage! When the massues asked us to change into pyjamas I thought yes, finally I've arrived in heaven. The 'foot' massage began with having the head knocked off me! The guy punched and pushed and pressed till I thought I could bear no more, until eventually I felt this sudden lift of tension! I don't know what he did but it was fabulous! 45 minutes later I was almost asleep. 10 minutes of walking with my tension free feet flopping around like dead fish we reached our hotel and within a minute I was asleep, and dreaming about continuing my Asian Adventure!
