Day 17 Suddenly at. 04.00 in the morning were the doors to the compartment opened and a guard said Hanoi. All had eyes and jumped out of the berth, yes, yes, we are not really out in force. Khao got taxis mm. And we arrived to the hotel Camellia4, 44 Hang Giay Street in the center of Hanoi, kl. 05.00. There was darkness over the place, but Henning had beaten a couple from the hotel, and although they were sleepy were incredibly helpful. We had 5 rooms, which was a great gesture from our side. Only Henning and I lacked Henning and I had a warm beer to the hotel, time ought to go with something until we could get breakfast at. 6.30. Before we went down to the Hoa kiem lake to look at the morgengymnastik set every morning. When we had breakfast we met outside the hotel at. 7.15 and went a combined tour of Hoa kiem lake before we could get our bikes. Since we had been provided with bicycles, we cycled around the internal Hanoi to make us a little familiar with the traffic and where we were. Lunch was taken at Little Hanoi, a restaurant near the hotel. Svend and I received the spoils of our bikes since they first were very low. The afternoon was spent on a long bike ride around the big Sunday called Westlake.
That was a long trip and we pause for a nice big restaurant which is housed in a big river boat. We were at home so everyone had a few free hours before we would meet again and go to a tagrestauration near the hotel. We ate early because we had tickets to a performance in the water at the theater. 20. The performance lasted around. 1 hour with music and puppet theaters. Doll is performed in water. We were soon at home and can catch some of the sleep we were missing from the trip impure.

Day eighteen. Today Ingrid birthday. She got a little fødselsdagssang at breakfast and the girls had arranged for donations of earrings and a scarf in a color she had not already. So began the day with bike ride to Ho Chi Minh mausoleum. We should only park bikes then were checked as in an airport. We could not shoot the mausoleum so that some might deliver. All would be honorable dressed as men to be in long trousers. There were long queues so it took a long time. We also saw his home, it took too long. There were so many people. Then we visited the national museum, a large and prestigious building from ca. 1996. Next stop was at the old university and museum literature. There were also many people and it was also a beautiful, exciting and different experience. We ate lunch at a street children's restaurant. In earlier times, has a French lady made a concept according to which street children were trained to work in and operate a restaurant. There are several places in Hanoi where the restaurant is run by former street children. We got back some nice food. Then we cycled back to the hotel and the afternoon was free. We met again at. 20 and we ate at the Little Hanoi. Ingrid gave beer because it was her birthday. The hotel gave Ingrid a beautiful cake to mark the birthday, so we ended the day with coffee and pastry at 404 with Ingrid and Kaj.

Day nineteen. The day started beautifully, wonderful weather and a nice breakfast. Kl. 8 Thuy came with a bus and brought us. She had two friends with. Only John would just give Thuy no clothes for her little daughter.
We should first have a tour of the new Hanoi. It is a large area where there are fences and guards so not everyone can enter. That is both good and evil to separate the population into rich and poor. We can not understand that the Danes would be beneficial in the longer term. One important thing is always that society are interdependent and that the movement from poor to rich is a possible thing. Gap between rich and poor must always be reasonable so that all socially active. We later visited the Sai temple. It was a very long journey to the countryside so much that even drivers and Thuy had difficulty finding the road. Henning was fairly silent even if he had been there before, so it was far away in the country. We ate lunch somewhere in the countryside in a small town where Thuy working on a school. Moreover, her brother Nam live in the same city. He works at the railway. After lunch we would visit his home. It was an experience with water with ice cubes and his homemade schnapps. It was fun for all. We were able to visit the ethnic museum which displays all the 54 ethnic groups who are in Vietnam. Outside, all the different kinds of accommodation are in Vietnam because it was built the housing. We had set aside 2 hours but cut it down to 1 ½ hours to get a little free time. After a lovely free afternoon arrived Oanh and sister Hang at 18
There was great joy return. Kl. 18.10 came from the girls in May Chau, Hoa and Thu. All of a sudden had Henning very busy exchanging gifts and greetings on. Kl. 18.15, he had not yet bathed so it was a tight schedule. We would meet at 19 to go down to the restaurant by the lake where we should eat Hennings Birthday noon when there is 1 American, 9 Danes and approx. 30 Vietnamese. It will be fun.
