We arrived at our Maison d'Hanoi hotel around 3:30 pm where we spent a few hours since our train would not leave till after supper. Bill worked at catching up our on our flood of e-mail on the lobby computer. Sue-On had some good chats with other members of our group in the lobby lounge area. We had a light supper together before we headed off to the station for the 7 pm overnight soft sleeper train to Hue.
