ok, so it's not luxurious, but comfortable. weird sharing a room with two French folks that didn't speak English, but they were nice. bathroom serviceable, but not too fancy. ride was bumpy, but mysterious. a genuine experience. cool to walk in the train hall way at night and look out an open window
Hanoi to Lao Cia night train . Leave at 9.20 pm , we booked a 2 berth cabin , no sharing with strangers . 2 bunk beds , pillows and blanket . Bed side table with a cold beer and coke , bananas , biscuits and nuts are a nice touch . Hot coffee and tea arrive as we depart . Great views of Hanoi as we slowly leave the city . Sleep well as we rattle and sway through the night . Shortly before we arrive in Lao Cia there is a knock on the door and coffee and breakfast bars delivered . The train was way better than the return trip by road .
