Back to Hanoi

14 November 2011
Arrived back in Hanoi early in the morning by train.  Walked down to Puku Cafe where we could freshen up, have breakfast and then a surprise was in store for us.  When we left Lao Cai we had to keep our helmets with us and our day packs and the rest went with the van.
