Grabbed !

Quite literally a grab shot taken from the car as we sat at traffic lights. Grab seems to be the Vietnamese equivalent of Uber in other parts of the world.
This young mum with her little child was obviously crossing Hanoi by the quickest means of transport as the mopeds skilfully weave their way through the traffic. I am amazed to see how many adults and children they can fit on as well as dogs and huge amounts of other cargo.! 

Our day consisted of a city tour with a guide, starting at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where we watched the changing of the guard ( 1st extra) . The 2 replacements guards were marched in with military precision and the 2 who had stood for the previous hour were marched out as the photo shows. We were then driven to the famous Temple of Literature and other city sites finishing up in the early evening with the wonderful Water Puppet show.
We parted with our guide and later had a short walk to the the Hoan Kiem Lake where the 2nd extra shows the lovely red Huc Bridge .
