The idea was to visit Vietnam in a very short trip, 2 nights…enough to visit Halong Bay with its amazing caves and natural settings. For this it was better to stay at Hanoi instead of Ho Ch Min, city, which was something totally new for me, my hopes were so high with an interesting result, a tricky one…bad? No not bad yet I learned allot!
From Hong Kong the flight was not difficult actually I have to admit that Vietnam Airlines are simply cool, fresh and with beautiful flight attendants dressed in traditional outfits. The food was as good as the flight; the in-flight magazine promised a place with mystery, adventure and amazing natural settings.
Finally the plane lands, and then the real Vietnamese experience takes over…an airport with a very communist air, I had flashbacks of travelling with my parents to Romania in the year 1980…the same feeling. Finally I am out, finally some fresh air hard to breath of the amount of motor cycles expecting to take friends and loved ones from the airport to their homes. The taxi is waiting and then Hanoi starts. Honestly I wondered at first, things are not nice around any airport in the world things will get better…really? Mmhhh NOT!
Chaos and traffic is the description, this might sound like the endless story of any city but here it was cars, bikes and motorcycles’ carrying families, children and actually it was the first time I saw people mingling in the high way, exchanging phone numbers and even perhaps fixing a date at full speed in a main highway. Yes I can’t deny that at first it was fun then it became stressful then it became endless…
My hope for getting better was almost gone, finally after over 1 hour the taxi turned right down a small road and here it was…paradise! Yes when you book a luxury hotel in Vietnam, luxury takes a new meaning; we are talking about service, design and simply luxury all around. The hotel was the Intercontinental West Lake situated on a natural lake with no amazing view but the hotel did it all for me, it made me feel in what I desired Vietnam to be.
