We’re taking a siesta after a very hot and humid day in Hanoi. Still, today we managed a visit to Long Bien Bridge and the longest mosaic wall in the world, and later to the Fine Art Museum and the Temple of Literature. The Fine Art Museum does not get the tourist crowds constantly flowing out of busses at the Temple of Literature, but it has a remarkable collection well worth viewing. Here are a few of the things we saw today….

Tomorrow we’re jumping on a 12 hr touristy-tour to Ninh Binh, which promises a bike ride, a boat ride, caves and more.
