We left Hanoi early on our first morning there for a road trip of about four hours to the beautiful Halong Bay. While en route we stopped once for gasoline, and also made a pit stop at a large roadside establishment that sold food and drinks and employed many people making art and marble and cement statuary. Here are a few views of the drive north.
