Vietnam: Hanoi Day 4

...........The title suppose to be Vietnam: Tam Coc Day 4. Why the hell it became Vietnam: Hanoi Day 4!!!
This is all because we had been trapped inside the train for 16 hours! Being told by the train staff that the train off track, hence everything delayed. OMG! Initially the train scheduled to reach Hanoi around 6am. However because of this incident, we reach Hanoi around 1pm! And reach Little Hanoi around 2pm! WTF. The tour to Tam Coc start about 9am :(

Checked in Little Hanoi.

We have no choice but to accept the fact. Trapped inside the train for 16 hours without having any meal. Hence walked away a few street to locate for the best local beef noodle.

Bun Bo Nam Bo
69 Hang Dieu, Hanoi

This beef noodle is damn damn OMFG nice! Yes, I know I might be too hungry to judge this. But come and taste to believe! 100% guarantee satisfaction.

After curing our stomach, next to Cho Dong Xuan for some bargaining. I hate to shopping in Vietnam. Why don't they just sell us the actual price instead of wanting us to bargain like hell for just a little bit item. Sigh...

Proceed to Hanoi Old Quarter Lake to visit Den Ngoc Son Temple.

No we are not insane. Just feeling like eating ice cream. That's all. But these two plate of Ice cream is not an ordinary ice cream as it cost us around 170000Dong or 8.50USD if I'm not mistaken. Bloody expensive! Oh by the way, they're using Haagan Dazs :)

We get to know this restaurant through Lonely Planet recommendation. And of course from the result of Googling as well. But sad to said that the food so-so only.

Settle our dinner, walked back to Little Hanoi and have some rest. Tomorrow will have to prepare for Halong Bay tour. Good Night everyone.
