After another great meal on our junk we were taken back to the pier, onto our private bus, and started the long 4-hour ride back to Hanoi. During our "happy room" stop at the same tourist attraction we had another look at the stone lions that we had imported years ago and now guard the front door house. They had a huge display board showing the shipping costs to anywhere in the world. Bill was tempted by the pair of life-size lions ;-)

This trip back to Hanoi provided another chance to soak up local colour and to gaze at the roadside sites. We couldn't resist taking more photos of the great variety of buildings and landuse.
