Perfume River


To take a break from the hustle of Hanoi, we took a trip to see the Huong Tich Pagoda in the Dai Bihn cave on the Perfume River. We boarded a small bus and headed north for more than an hour and drove through a number of villages. One seemed to be the shoemaking capital of the world; every store had rows and rows of shoes. It was an odd sight out here on dirt roads. Our bus ride ended, we jumped into small Viet Nam river boats and headed upriver for another hour passing rice paddies and very small hamlets.
