Day 9: Crab meat soup and a flight back
Knowing that this would be our last meal, I had picked Bun Rieu Cua for some breakfast mad eof crab meat soup. The guide book said it opens at 7 am and has a long queue, so we turned up at 7. However, the place was still opening up and completely empty, and we only got our food at around 7:30. The soup itself was delicious, the tomato puree added another element to it, and it really was a great way to end our food journey.
We got back to our hotel, packed up and left at 9:00 am. We walked to the Vietnam airlines office, and caught the next bus at 9:45 (they are supposed to come every hour, so had buffered some time in). After some airport shopping (I bought some coffee), we were on our way home, tired but satisfied.
Any questions, please ask and I will be sure to respond asap. I hope this trip report is helpful to some!!
Final suggestions for those who cant read the whole thing:
Hanoi:
Eat at Xoi Yen, Bun Rieu Cua, Bun bo nam bo.
See the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature and Ho Lao Prison
Sapa:
Walk!
Halong Bay: Go with Vega Travels
Hoi An:
Eat at Morning Glory and Bale Well
See the Fujian assembly hall
Hue:
Eat at Mandarin Cafe
See the Citadel and Tu Duc's Tomb
