Urban Mysteries

One morning, I took my parents for a bike ride around town, through the Urban Discovery guided tours. It was absolutely great and totally recommended to anyone, both visitors and temporary Hanoian residents. The tour takes you along the Red River, through tiny alleys and local markets, over the Long Bien bridge, across the dyke road, into the old quarters and along Tay Ho, with nice little stops for tea and sweets, juice and beer and lovely beef noodle rolls - pho cuon.

Final stop. Hungry and thirsty after three hours of cycling around in perfect "not too sunny and not too hot but not too cold or moist either" kind of Hanoian spring weather at its best.
