Good evening, Vietnam! (I've wanted to say that for a while..).
Ricky and I are enjoying the relatively lavish comfort of a 'boutique hotel' in celebration of my birthday. We tried to go out for a celebratory dinner and managed to eat pizza as planned, but although we ordered beef and BBQ ribs, we actually ended up with tuna and hawaiian, respectively. Still, although our dinner bore no actual relation to what we'd intended, it was actually really nice. Afterwards we had the most incredible ice-cream ever (Ricky found milk flavour, which made him about as happy as I've ever seen a grown man who wasn't cooking meat over an open flame while drinking beer) I wanted to order something that was called BOAT OF DOOM, but on re-examination it was actually BOAT OF DREAMS, so had banana&Baileys&coffee instead. Ricky paid - I've been told I should mention this. No but really, that was nice, and I had a lovely birthday despite the flight which we're not discussing right now but it was NOT PLEASANT.
Thank you for the birthday wishes too! I think we're going to sleep now, but I will write more about Hanoi (I have lots to say, as ever..) tomorrow.
Watch this space for pho very very soon. (it's available as part of the breakfast buffet!!!! this is even more exciting than the fact that our hotel room has towelling robes and slippers!)
love,
23 year-old Louise. xxx
