Hanoi - Perfumed Pagoda trip






















A short bus trip from Hanoi through rural Vietnam, followed by a boat ride (courtesy of an indefatigable peasant woman) is the Perfumed Pagoda - a working Buddhist temple in a huge limestone cave. The scale of the dark cave, the rhythmic chanting and the incense is hypnotic and reminiscent of an Indiana Jones movie. For more and better photos see http://planetjannet.blogspot.com/

The last photo is the view from our room of the Win Hotel in Hanoi - highly recommended and only US$30 per night.
