Take a walk.

Hanoi is a great city. When we travelled there in April, the weather was very mild, which made it comfortable to walk around. You need to be reasonably fit, but if you take a map it's easy to get from one site to another as most things are very centralised.

***

"Wherever we are at the four points of the compass,
Our hearts turn to Hanoi;
The Lake of the Restored Sword with it's blue Waters,
Which mirror the slanted shadow of the Tortoise Stupa".
