Our 4th night here we have a huge storm both following nights, high winds but the rain doesn’t settle. The huge open sewers that run along the downtown streets are full. The guide books says it5 keeps the city cool, I think it smells bad!!
We thought Hanoi was dangerous enough trying to negotiate the sidewalks covered in vehicles, cafes, holes, etc. but this is far worse in places. The city seems in a state of constant repair, they tile the sidewalks but many are broken, holes appear, and trees are set in deep holes which anyone could easily disappear into in the dark. It’s well lit at night but still, Ted has fallen almost outside our hotel last night and banged up his artificial knee and bruised his poor arthritic hands.
