Day 06: Tu Le - Hanoi
Date: Wednesday, 25 November 2015
Distance: 250 km
We had breakfast of half boiled duck eggs with bread. From Tu Le we rode to the petrol station to refuel but they were out of petrol. Luckily there were a few roadside petrol vendors along the road.

After a short coffee break we detoured and went for a distance of off-roading on a slippery muddy track. Half way we turned back and took another route which was as tough as the first one and finally exited at one small town where we stopped for lunch.

We arrived in Hanoi in late afternoon thronging the massive after office traffic jam. We stayed the night in Parkson Hotel.
