Flat Mrs. Abbott enjoyed visiting Hanoi. Hanoi is in northern Vietnam.
She thought the streets were very busy.

We went to the water puppet theatre in Hanoi. It was a wonderful show. The art form of water puppetry originated in northern Vietnam. I'm glad we were able to catch a show on our last evening in Hanoi.
The puppets slide along metal bars in water.
I just loved the water puppets. The expression on this puppet's face made me smile.
Water puppets playing instruments.
Water puppets told legends and stories about daily life.
The puppeteers came out at the end of the show. I loved their colourful costumes.
Water puppets in the lobby.

We ate outside on the deck of this restaurant in Hanoi because the only inside rooms available had smokers in them.

Some green vegetable with ground nuts and salt for dipping in.
Vietnamese food is soooo good!
