Busy day in Hanoi

Adam is writing the blog today. Yesterday we did lots of things. After a big breakfast we went to the war military museum with our tour guide. She told us the history of Vietnam and how the wars started over time. She talked about Ho Chi Minh who was their leader and the people's hero. Show showed us around the war museum. After the war museum we went to the Ho Chi Minh complex and temple. There was his old house, his office and his temple. He had a enormous garden for the people to come and see. We saw a half coconut half oak tree in his back yard. We went to the lotus pagoda where people go to pray for children and luck.
For lunch we went to Koto restaurant - diner and training centre run by disadvantaged youth. The meal was great.
Our next journey was back to the hotel on cyclo doing a tour through the old quarter.
We saw a water puppet show it was fantastic!! Then we got new shoes (All stars) they're great !
