Day 0 and Day1, Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th March

We have safely arrived at our hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam after fairly uneventful flights. We left Adelaide on Tuesday night at 7pm, flying to Melbourne for our international flights to Hanoi. We were booked by QANTAS all the way through from Adelaide to Vietnam and were given boarding passes for all three flights.

We watched these two riders turn a corner and they had to be very well co-ordinated. It was hilarious and I wished I’d been quick enough to get a photo.
