Reached Hanoi bus station in the morning, booked a Grab bike to reach my hostel. Checked-in, took rest and then got ready, I first went to Nan N Kabab restaurant to eat. The restaurant was near West Lake (Ho Tay), so I walked around Ho Tay after eating. Came back to the hostel and took rest, it was a hot day in Hanoi.

In the evening, I walked around the beautiful Hoan Kiem lake and Hanoi Old Quarter. Visited the office of Nest Asia, a travel agency, there office was in the Savina building near Hoan Kiem lake. Booked a one day tour to Ha Long Bay for the next day, I paid 1000,000 VND for the Ha Long Bay tour.
