We got into Hanoi around 8:30 in the morning. Exhausted was an understatement. Luckily Andrew was more coherent than I was and led me away from the airport information desk trying to scam us into an expensive ($20.00) taxi into the city. Instead, we headed towards the Vietnam Airlines shuttle into the city center for $2.00 each, and walked to Hanoi Backpackers Hostel. Anxious for a bed, we splurged (a whole $5.00) for our own room and promptly passed out. When we woke up to darkness, we ventured out for some pho and walked around until we got lost in Hanoi, the first time of many.
