I woke up early and got ready, it was raining in Hanoi. I was 10 minutes late and the tour guide was not willing to wait for me. Booked a Grab to reach Hanoi Opera house, the tour guide Loi was really hurrying in the morning.

Boarded the tour bus from the Opera house, there were around 25 people in the bus. Our first stop was a big mart selling products made from Bamboo. I especially liked clothes made from bamboo, they were very soft and stretchable. Our next stop was Hang Mua. At Hang Mua, I climbed the stairs to reach the top of the mountain. Then we stopped for lunch at a restaurant.

After lunch the guide took us to Hoa Lu temple, Hoa Lu was the ancient capital of Vietnam. The last stop was a boat ride in Tam Coc or Trang An. Most of the people in the group were going to Tam Coc, but I had planned to go to Trang An.

I enjoyed the boat ride in Trang An, it is a beautiful place. In the boat I was with three other people from Bangladesh. Vietnamese people call Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay on land. After the boat ride in Trang An, I boarded the bus and reached my hostel in Hanoi around 8 PM.
