Awoke to the sounds of my hotel door bell ringing. Midway through scrubbing the permanent marker tatoos decorating my leg in the bath (don't ask), I hobbled to the door in a towel to be greeted by a gaggle of giggling girls; and arranged to meet a couple of hours later to go to the co-op to purchase supplies for the train.
After about five minutes of walking we were horrified to realise the supermarket was across the worlds longest bridge, so jumped on some cyclos instead; fun. Bought supplies for the train journey and went for lunch with whoever we managed to bump into from the group along the way.
Later we caught the train and didn't do much aside from lull about in a room together chatting. Had a reasonably early night if such a thing is possible when you aren't going to sleep, and woke up at around 4am when a far too jolly JP woke us up. Freezing cold we ended up in fleeces and hoodies, and swapped from the train to a minibus to continue another 3 hours to Ha long bay, and into our hotel which looked straight out over the mountains.
