The ferry before it headed into open water...

... the ferry had just left the quay but immediately slid into another boat. No-one seemed in the slightest bit bothered, pushed it off and almost turned it in the right direction with a pat on the hull

Peter and Sam went home on a xe om

One of the xe om drivers misheard my directions and they ended up the far side of Hanoi. According to Sam, it was the best mistake I've ever made as he had 3 times the length of journey on the back of the motorbike.

Bunches of lotus flowers, wrapped in their own leaf, on the back of my motorbike

The lotus leaves are huge and are used to wrap around the flowers to give them protection (and preserve their appearance as petals always fall off the minute you unband them). The flower girls tie the flowers you've bought onto the back of your motorbike or bicycle using thin strips of bamboo and then twisted tight.

Cut lotus flowers laid in the little boat on top of lotus leaves.

The flowers are either bunched up and wrapped in a lotus leaf ready for selling or the petals and stamens are stripped off and the stigma (I guess - trying to remember my A level biology!) sent for production of lotus scented tea. see the later photos of the flowers being stripped.
