Hoa Lư - The ancient capital of Vietnam

Our driver is a funny guy, very helpful but doesn't quite speak English. So every time he leaves us somewhere we agree that we call him once we're ready. Such a phonecall sounds like this:
- Hello, this is Eitan. We are finished here.
- ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok.
I never really counted how many oks are there but it must be between 13 and 24. Then we wait, he picks us up, watches music videos on YouTube while driving, but he really drives well and carefully. So no complaints whatsoever.
This afternoon okokokokok took us to the ancient capital of Vietnam, Hoa Lu. The landscape is spectacular as always in this area: ricefields broken by picturesque limestone mountains. There are shrines and temples, fish ponds and archeological excavation sites.

In the evening okokokokok took us to a nearby goat-restaurant, we are in goat county after all. The restaurant was a little weird, but only with the eyes of the western visitor. Big rooms. Long tables, lots of chairs around them, leaving no gap neither between neighboring tables, not between neighboring guests. Sitting is not quite comfortable, because the chairs are too high compared to the table. But it may work with short people, I don't know. You won't believe how many people can fit in a small place. But since we were the only guests anyways, we took ourselves the freedom to move some chairs around and made ourselves comfortable. The goat was worth the effort to get there. Fantastic lean meat in a slightly weird place. We were filling rice papers with different types of leaves and the lemon goat. The salty goat we dipped in some chilli sauce and ate it with rice. Delicious stuff.
