I walked to the hotel to eat breakfast.
After the breakfast, I left the hotel again to board bus to Giap Bat Station to take pictures of freight trains. Then,
a staff asked me checkout time. I guess it's because he thought I would leave baggage until late at night.


In front of the bus stop, there is Mercure hotel.

I boarded bus for Giap Bat. Then, I received message from the clinic. The message says "Your Covid test result was negative"
