A hastily arranged tour of the Hanoi Old and French Quarters was most enjoyable, keenly assisted by Mickie and Nui (hope I remembered their names correctly!)
Both girls were friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about both Vietnamese culture and the city of Hanoi.
Despite the on/off rain, the tour was informative, not strenuous, conversation was easy and made the most of the atmosphere around the walking and not-walking streets, with the SEA Games activities around the Hoan Kiem Lake.
Highly recommended.
