Hanoi Vietnam trip 5D4N package

source Palace Hotel @ Hanoi

This family trip becomes our yearly tradition since few years back. Not bad since everyone have time off only during this festive season, the only downside is more expensive package closing to RM4K and not much shopping available since Vietnam is also celebrating their new year festival too. Below is the general outline of the itinerary:

a) Day1 - depart from Bkt. Mertajam at midnight on bus to KLIA.
b) Day2 - reached KLIA ~4am+ , flight to Hanoi takes ~2 hour +
              - reached and proceed to visit Tran Quoc Pagoda
              - visited the 'whitehouse' of Hanoi, 'dataran Merdeka' of Hanoi & the one beam pagoda
              - lunch @ Anh Hoa & then check-in to Palace Hotel & dinner just beside (post below)
c) Day3 - after breakfast, depart for the jetty ~3hours away for Huong Hai 2D1N cruise package.
              - many activities arranged - relaxing @ beach , dinner, spring roll making, 
d) Day4 - morning boat ride around fishing village with cruise, 
              - 3 hours ride back to Hanoi. Check in Authentic Hotel , have dinner water puppet show.

Hello counter miss.

Dinner is not bad. 


 Of course not to forget the famous Vietnamese spring roll 

That's it for overall trip highlight..unfortunately my posts kind of limited by the snail-like rate of uploads to Googlephoto using cheaposkate RM60 Streamyx haha. Well, if i have time & much later on when i have all my processed photos then i might upload more & update.

I do have some complains on the package price vs perks since we are using AirAsia flights.
a) There should be reduction in price per pax since usually we paid for normal flights price
b) There is ambiguity in charging 1/2 pax price for baby <3 years old.
c) It's called a 6D4N package...come on la...don't try to fool people with such package tag.

Other than that, i guess spending some fun time with family is probably the best thing you can get at the moment, or while it still happens =)
