Part 2 of leg 20 underway

Survived the 12 hour wait for the M1 train with flying colors: stowed the luggage on the safe and cheap storage at the train station and spent the day walking around the Old Quarter lake with numerous stops for shade, coffee, lunch, and ice cream.

The 2nd part actually involves 2 trains: Hanoi to Dong Dang and a stop to pass through customs. Then, because the track gauge varies from Vietnam to China, we hop on a Chinese train for the final run to Guilin.

By the way, this train is just the engine and 1 sleeper car, and as of this writing, we are the only passengers.
