Breakfast at hotel in Hanoi 7.15 AM

We had a wonderful breakfast again in the hotel before leaving to Trac Van. 

Check out hotel 7.50 AM

The moment before we checked out, some of us saw the banner that the hotel made for us and felt really happy. Everyone felt happy to stay in the hotel with the kindness of each and every single staff there. 

Anytime we came to the hotel and left the hotel, we saw all staffs were swetty because of helping us with heavy luagge.

We had Hanh and C Nhung joined our journey. As everyday, Maarten had some quiz for the group before we all went to resting mode. 

Meeting with the group and government:
5 minutes for government (10 mins translation and questions)

The group had a chance to experience the way of having an official meeting in Vietnam. One person will introduce the participants, claps hands and give a speech and thanks. And yes, we couldnt express how much thankful we were with the welcoming of the Trac Van group in the meeting hall with a nice traditional Vietnamese music. 

Photos sessions/a cultural performance 10.30 AM

We planned to have a cultural performance, simply a Vietnamese song, but it didnt happen because our sister Vinh was sick. But later on, sister Vinh gave us a beautiful song later on in the saying goodbye dinner on 16 July.
