So we caught our flight from Heathrow to Abu Dhabi on Etihad, which is an awesome airline: loads of room, new planes, large TV screens, etc. Abu Dhabi airport seemed really tiny and like a coral space pod, and I think I accidentally managed to block a toilet. But we weren't there long as we caught our connecting flight to Bangkok.
Bangkok airport is nice and new, only a couple of years old. We caught a taxi to James's friend Pete's place, somewhere in the city. To be honest I didn't get to understand exactly where we were, Bangkok's pretty huge for a start and we spent most of the day getting over the jet lag
We did a bit of shopping for some essentials and had a couple of meals in local restaurants. Then we turned in at about 9 as the sleep caught up with us.
The next day was a flight to Hanoi in Vietnam, and a mix up on the timings meant that Pete had to drive like a maniac to get us to the airport in time. Luckily we checked in with less than a minute to spare, not that the people behind the desk seemed too worried.
So we're now in Hanoi which is noticably warmer and sunnier than Bangkok, and seems a lot more colourful and picturesque. Though I haven't really seen much of Bangkok yet except for it's high rises, so I'll reserve judgement on that until later.
We're off to explore the city now before we start our tour of Vietnam proper tomorrow. Ciao!
