Our hotel room is very good, soft bed and pillows, fridge and telly, bathroom with separate shower and hot water, air conditioning and free wifi, and breakfast included. It is the heart of the backpackers area but down an alley away from the noise. For Janina the only problem is two flights stairs.
Today we have walked to the indoor market.....visited more markets in the last 5 weeks than the last 5 years!!!!.

As it is Sunday the streets were not as busy as expected. There are 22 million motorbikes in Vietnam, I'm sure most are here. There are pedestrian crossings, but they are not recognised by bikes and cars, so at the slightest gap you just start walking and don't stop, they will drive around you. If you stop then you're likely to get run over. If unsure keep close to the locals when they cross. Then on to the Cathedral which unfortunately was closed to visitors due to weddings taking place. As the happy couple came out they had their photographs taken in the middle of the road with bikes and cars whizzing by.

Strolled down a pretty side street trying to find the Botanical Gardens, but finished up in homebody's back yard. The gardens are combined with the zoo so had to pay an entrance fee of 40p. Spent couple of hours photographing butterflies Used taxi for return to hotel.
