Oh, hi Hanoi!
Looks like we made it here just about in one piece. The flight was an absolutely almighty feat of endurance- 12.5 big fat hours from London to Kuala Lumpur, so needless to say, I spent some quality time with the in-flight entertainment system. The Heat, by the way, is very funny. Sandra Bullock is a total classic. Also, the food was pretty good for an airplane: salmon and tilapia, and prawn curry and rice for breakfast. Yehhhh.
Then it was a 3 hour flight (delayed, obviously) from KL to Hanoi. This ALSO included breakfast of Malaysian pancakes and chicken curry, which is obviously exactly what I wanted at 10am.
After a bit of a wait at Hanoi to sort out the ol' Visa, I finally got through to see Fin brandishing a homemade sign with my name on it, so that was an unexpected bonus. Hopped in a taxi for a DEATH RIDE to the centre, where we were promptly taken to the wrong hostel. But thennn we found our hotel and turns out to be super swanky and we have a laptop and free Wi-fi, so hence this post.
Ok, I think it's shower time because we are both stinking.
Hey Megggg! I'm glad you arrived safely and how kool was it to have Fin waiting for you with a big ol' sign screaming "MEGAN" on it?! Can't wait to hear more about your adventures in the upcoming weeks. :) Don't forget to post up pics too! -Shellbot
