Having been inspired by Primos recent Vietnam thread and also Lao airlines having a promo im of to Hanoi and halong in august , been to vietnam a few times but not those 2 places, anyone got any recent info? i did read a report from TD,s most excellent photographer Bobcock, but it was in 2008, the plan is to have 2 nights in hanoi then head of to halong and have an overnighter on the boat then 1 more night in hanoi, just a quick trip so looking to squeeze as much in as possible, from what ive googled it sounds like i should probably splurge a bit for the boat and get a quality one rather than end up on a dingy full of gap year kunts any info about boat overnighters and hotels / pubs would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
