So a few days of R&R in Hanoi. It actually turned quite cold at first, with one very wet day. Otherwise spent a lot of time walking and seeing some sights......once the sun decided to return.
I returned the Honda to Style Motorbikes and got my deposit back. No drama, no quibbles; all very straightforward. Would definitely use this company again.
The Honda XR150 turned out to be a very capable little bike (way better then the Honda Baja 150 rented in Cambodia!). Reliable and with enough power for the conditions. It survived me throwing it down the road on the Ho Chi Minh trail and was economical and fun to ride. Wouldn't buy one though....!
It was a couple of aimless days wandering around Hanoi. Nice city, but now the bike trip itself was over, the impetus had gone. So a couple of days of half hearted sight seeing and drinking too much, waiting for the return flight (via Guangzhou) to London.
The immigration at Guangzhou were more strict than on the way out; he only gave me a 24 hour transit visa this time instead of the 10 days I got before; but it was all I needed. Arrived too late and left too early the next day to really see or do much, except a diversion to Hooley's Irish Pub!!
That's all, finished. Until next time...............!
