Good morning Vietnam!

 

Day 1 was packed full of adventure!



The CBT team was up bright and early to brave the rain and head to the Tamarind Café for breakfast. We were going to be in Hanoi for the next three days so we had to make a game plan. 

CBT Team spent their first night at the New Hanoi Hotel

After breakfast the team headed back to the hotel, packed up, and made their way to The Little Hanoi Hostel. While we were waiting to check in, we took advantage of the free tea, coffee and WiFi in the lobby! We stayed in the lobby and got right to work.

Then we hit the streets to find some lunch, run a few errands and exchange some money. The Old Quarter is a bustling neighbourhood with motorbikes whizzing everywhere and amazing Vietnamese street food at every corner.

Stopped for lunch to enjoy some eel soup at a popular spot.

Our errands took us to Hoan Kiem Lake and we saw the most amazing Tet decorations. Tet is the Vietnamese New Year and is just finishing up.



Happy New year or, as they say in Vietnam, chúc mừng năm mới everyone!
