Day 133 – Vietnam

February 15, 2010 – Hanoi, Vietnam

Today is a lazy day.

It’s cold and almost everything is closed, which means it’s a perfect day to eat pizza, read, nap, work on the blog – we’re still trying to catch up – and do a whole lot of nothing. So this is exactly what we do until dinner time, which is the highlight of the day.

Since we’re scheduled to leave Hanoi tomorrow morning, we want to hit our favourite spots for dinner one last time.

We begin our evening with some deep-fried goodness – pork fingers & crinkle-cut jicama fries. Alas, our regular spot is closed for the holidays, so we go to the restaurant next door and they don’t disappoint us… DELICIOUS!

Then we follow this up with a stroll through the deserted city and finish it all off at the Vietnamese kebab shop. Along with our favourites from the night before – beef with tomatoes & Chinese mushrooms, crabcakes and grilled whole mushrooms – we also try a few local delicacies, including barbequed snails, grilled frog and roasted Chinese mushrooms.

It is a wonderful ending to a city we have truly grown to love.
