Made it from Saigon to Hanoi, a total of 1911km, twice as much as any previous cycle tour, got here early this afternoon, checked in and walked round the lake and city centre, the old quarter, narrow streets, shops selling 'briker-brak', mopeds dashing in every direction - tomorrow is a rest day for sight seeing, then of to Singapore next day - maybe will go any see Ho Chi Minh in the mausoleum.

No injuries, fairly busy on the roads into the city - good fun - its 5:30pm and peter and i are in the internet cafe before meeting Keith and Gavin for our evening meal
