Hanoi and Cat Ba Island with Halong Bay tour

This time we actually stayed in Hanoi to see the sites and sample the city. Here we visited the museums, met up with Marine, bumped into Stupid James by accident,  and drank lots of extremely cheap beer. Me and Joe decided to commemorate the whole trip by getting a small tattoo. We then drove down to Cat Ba Island and had a few days exploring and then going on the famous Halong Bay tour.
This guy wanted to get a guiness world record for amount of mattresses on a scooter.

This was some isolated areas with very few other vehicles coming down, the main traffic still uses the highway one which comes down the coast line.
