The most touristy place in Vietnam is probably Sapa, in the northern mountains. Many traditional hill tribes are living in small villages between the rice fields, which made it a perfect place for taking beautiful pictures. Quite annoying were the hill tribe women who accompanied us during our walking tour. We were claimed by them and they desperately were trying to sell us their goods.

I did a tour to Halong Bay. This Unesco World Heritage site consists of over 3000 little islands in the sea. It is a beautiful scenery. We were sailing along all the karst peaks in the water for three days. We stayed one night on the boat and one night on Cat Ba island.
Hanoi is the capital city of Vietnam. I shared a taxi from the airport to the old quarter and arranged a hotel room. I enjoyed walking around the Hoan Kiem lake in the old quarter, where many people where doing their morning exercises. Walking the city was tough because of the crazy amount of motor bikes on the streets. I still managed to visit the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and the Hoa Lo Prison museum. The memories of the Vietnam war were still alive in this museum. I used Hanoi as a base to explore Sapa (in the northern mountains) and Halong Bay (at sea).
