Day 6, and we joined a guided tour of Ninh Binh, the first capital of Vietnam. The rivers and mountains made it a natural fortress. Led by “Happy”, our guide, we saw the temple dedicated to the first king. Then we rode bicycles through the rice fields, had a buffet lunch, rode boats through mountains, then finally climbed up one of them. The landscape around the city was breathtaking. Then, the 2-hour drive back to Hanoi.
