Old Quarter in the early morning

Hanoi is up and running early. By 6am in the Old Quarter, the streets are already busy. And hot. It's 29C (84F) and will hit 38C (100.4F) by noon. And the humidity is north of 80%. The air feels like it is made directly out of soup.

Allison is on her scooter for this one, so she is bobbing and weaving around traffic and pedestrians. She swears she is a cautious driver.
