Living in Hanoi

We didn't venture out into the residential areas of Hanoi - there was so much to see in the old quarter   - but I did wonder where do folk live and what type of decor they have - this place is in Hanoi - I love the tiles - in fact was really tempted to forgo shoes and clothes and pack tiles to bring home!!  All pic via here.

Real Estate stalking in .....St Kilda Vic

Love this house  - owned by our friends who are making country /sea change - renovation is timeless and the location is a winner - just a short stroll to Acland St.. St Kilda is so vibrant - there is rear access (so you can have off street parking) the house is really versatile- you can either close of the first floor and have separated rental dwelling or  incorporate it into the house- endless options.  It a  very relaxing space and while on a busy road I didn't ever notice traffic noise one inside

The Kitchen  the two square steel things on the back wall and bins- they connect to the large council bin so no need for a separate bin inside the house.

Vietnam

Vietnam - I loved it - what a spectacular place  - where to start - Ha Noi was perfect - slower paced, the food was fresh and I just wanted more, we rode bicycle's around and had the best time just relaxing watching life in the Ancient town over a few G&T's and fresh spring rolls.  We went without the children,  so great to have time to ourselves but I did miss them terribly.

Ha Long Bay - hauntingly spectacular - it was over cast the three days were were there  - we did a two night boat trip and that was just fantastic - kayaking into the most tranquil lagoons.

Hanoi  - hectic and at first I was completely overwhelmed but once over the initial shock loved the place - it is vibrant, the old quarter was just alive, our hotel was smack bang in the middle.  I could have spent at least two more days in Hanoi, so much to discover so so many more places to eat at,  but next time.

We are planning a trip back with the kids.
