I'm sitting in the room, which is the best on Camilia fourth I am now waiting only on Bang and Jens Erik's arrival. They arrived at 11.30. They were tired, but we had a good ride. It was not as long as I had expected. We ate at a good restaurant Koto and was very delicious food. We cycled back to the hotel and took a nap. We were awakened by Thuys phone, who announced that she would visit us at the hotel. She had on a water course and would like to have us. Thuy placed her motorcycle at the hotel. Jens Erik and I went with her on course. It was cunning sedative, so we left after an hour. A taxi back to the hotel. We thought that Thuy would eat with us, but she drove back to her home on her motorcycle. We ate at Litlle Hanoi. Bang'd like to see all the bars in Hanoi. We started with Backpacker Corner. It was nice to sit on the corner in the middle of the street and see traffic to pass. After visiting many bars and venues we ended up back in Backpacker Corner. The first day has gone by many impressions.

Today we had an agreement with Thuy to eat lunch near her office. Jens Erik Bang and I rented bikes at 8.30. We had plans to ride west around the lake. We had to be at Thuy at 12.00. But the plan was changed, lunch plan. Tue, which is Thuys sister had invited Thuys director and us for an exclusive lunch near her office. 7 km from Thuys office. Thuy riding a motorbike in front of us. We would never have found it if there had been a Directory. During lunch invited Thu us out to a pottery village "Bat Trang". She would pick us up by car at the office. Thuys director drove here in front of us. We would never sea could find back to their office. A half hour later Thu in her car. It was now the Director, who drove the car to the "Bat Trang". Thu're new to driving. Pottery village located 10 km outside Hanoi. There are more than 50 shops and outlets. Bang bought a part, an interesting visit. We were there for 2 hours. We drove back to our bikes and rode back to hotels and delivered bikes. We had a break in Backpachershjĝrnet. Here is always nice. In the evening we eat with Khoa, who comes with her daughter Minh Chau. Bang has decided that we should visit a real Vietnamese restaurant. It was hard to find the restaurant. as we stood in front of the restaurant we could find the bad. We had to cross a long dark corridor and up a dark staircase. A nice room and good food and it was an experience for all of us. after dinner was Khoa and Minh Chau with the Backpacker Corner. Khoa took first home after at 23.00. The rest of us were too tired. An exciting experience. There is always something happening here. Now all gathered in the room, but very tired.

A very special experience to see a local hospital. There were many people everywhere. There were so many that got dropped at a time. We welcomed all the Thuys father. He sat in a room on the 4th floor. We cycled now to the restaurant where we had lunch. Thuy and father and Thuys man came later.
