After taking an overnight bus to get to Hanoi, which went without any hiccups, we got ripped off as soon as we got to the city by getting in a taxi with a rigged meter - we ended up paying 10x the price it should have been. We thought about contesting with driver but decided to just accept it and pay.
Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam and has unreal heat. It's disgusting - so humid you can't even go outside. We spent 2 days in the hostel in Hanoi because we'd both gotten ill but even just lying down all day in a fanned room was unbearable.
We met up with 2 girls from Hoi An and went to get foot massages - £3 each for half an hour, bargain! The next day we went back for another one just so we could sit in air con for half an hour!
