Chris AshtonGreetings from Hanoi, Vietnam!
We’ve been exploring this bustling city for a little under a week now, enjoying some much needed down time after the Christmas period, and thought we’d share a few photos from our experience so far (there will be a more in-depth post to follow).

Here are some of our favourite scenes of Hanoi:
