Hanoi to Bangkok

So, I didnt sleep on the train, not one wink.  It was dirty and uncomfortable and I couldnt wait to get off.  Today was long, the train reached Hanoi at 3.30pm.  We found an 'internet cafe', when we got inside they just starred at us, there was no internet, and it seemed that there were no food either!  We tried to ask where we were, we held out a map but no one seemed to want to help, maybe it was the American thing again?!  We left and found another cafe just down the road.  We ordered pizza and drinks.  About 1 hour later our pizza arrived, on the back of a motorbike, they had sent out for it!  It was a nice little cafe, the restrooms were clean and we managed to wash a little and brush our teeth.  We got online and booked a hotel in Pattaya.

Later we got a taxi to the airport, the driver drove us round and round, we noticed we kept going past the same buildings, he was trying to rack up distance as we were on the meter.  When we got to the airport we said we weren't paying what he wanted us to pay, he was not happy, we argued for about 15 minutes, a local lady who spoke perfect English came over to help.  In the end we paid what we thought was right and walked away, he didnt come after us so that was that.  We got on the flight and headed back to Thailand..I was a happy lady!  When we landed in Bangkok the heat was amazingg!  We got a taxi to Pattaya and checked into the hotel we had booked online earlier.  The room was clean and had aircon, it was around 3am, we went to bed.
