I was driving back from town today and decided to cross the river and go for a little drive along and see what I could find.

Temples:


A pretty church:


Boats on the river:

Hanoi is a bit stormy at the moment, but with the storms come clearer skies and pretty sunsets!


Uncle Ho in particular looks nice with a pink sky behind him:
There are some more photos in this album, along with some photos taken at a couple of other places in Hanoi.

After years of driving past the flag tower almost every day I finally decided to go visit it on a nice sunny day. There is a military museum in the grounds with some stuff from the war.
I also went for a walk to the river and saw all the posers having their photos taken by the river. It's a popular place to go for wedding photos and there are a bunch of flower fields on the road leading to it where people love to go and pose for photos. There are a few places set up where you can go and pay an entry fee to get into the fields and climb up ladders to get the best shot.
