The streets of Hanoi are MENTAL!!! We have seen every road traffic violation imaginable; a family of four on one motorbike - the driver texting, the mother breast feeding, all traveling the wrong way down the outside lane of the motorway, no one wearing no helmets! Crazy! This guy carrying a tree is just the norm!
The traffic never stops; red lights are just for show, it all results in making crossing the road a seriously adrenalin pumping activity: this long exposure shot catches the never ending blur of movement!
Our last night in Vietnam :-( We took to the narrow streets to undertake another risky activity; a tour of Hanoi street foods!
On the street corner colourful kebabs lay in on display. You chose with your eyes... sometimes it's better not to know what exactly it is that your eating!
We then set about cooking the skewers ourselves, with the help of our friendly local guide Tinh... It was fun all round!
On closer inspection Dave noticed this piece of Quale still had a face... Oh well, when in Rome?
It was a fitting end to a incredible West meets East couple of weeks. Onwards now to our final destination, Japan - what will the 'Land of the Rising Sun' have in store for us?
An amazing adventure yet again although not one that inspires me! I think the risky streets would scare me too much and the food makes me feel squeamish. Glad you are still having an amazing time and can't wait for next weekend. We really are counting down now. Love you both. Mum xxx
