Day 70 Mon 11/5
Crossing the border into Vietnam was a lot harder than any we had passed thus far. We had to preorder Visas and they're only suitable for a month. It took over an hour to get past the border, and about an hour past the border, the bus was stopped by soldiers and the compartments under the bus were searched, including one bag randomly getting thoroughly checked. The entire day we only stopped for food once,which really killed me, and around 6:40 pm we made a stop to drop off lodging wood at one of the workers houses (illegally of course). The wood was stored in a bus compartment that could only be opened by making the backseats of passengers exit the bus. We finally arrived in Hanoi at 10:00 pm and four others and I found the Backpackers hostel downtown. Luckily, Maggie was there at the front door when we walked up and we grabbed some dinner, my second meal of the day...
