As we finish our trip to Ha Long Bay the bus ride seemed forever long. Not to mention we had to catch a train at 7pm to head to Hue so we were a bit worried if we would make it in time.
As we get closer into Hanoi traffic is even more nutty than usual (if you can believe that !) because it was a holiday new years day. Our bus was stuck at an intersection for 20minutes so we decided it would bd much quicker to just hop out and walk to our hostel as it would bf much quicker!! Good thing we did because the others on the bus didn't get to the hostel for another 40minutes and we had time to pack and eat before heading out yet again. Phew! -- we're loving the food way more here in Vietnam and its super cheap but great quality!
So I'll spare you the details of yet another train we were on but it was pretty nice and clean. Yay ! We shared our cabin with a older couple from Australia. So many Aussies here!!
Got a fairly good sleep considering Viet trains are MUCH more shaky compared to china trains. Michelle can't even sit facing the opposite direction haha. Might have to pay people to switch sides sometimes if need be haha.
So now were in Hue. About 300,000 people here so much different feel. We started our day off with our free breakfast included then decide to tour all the tombs and see the city. Better yet, see the city like the people do -- by motorbike ! Uh oh right. Well we were a bit scared at first but it was a lot of fun. We had some cool Viet guys drive us around and see the sights. Thought we may die a few times but totally worth it haha. Tombs were beautiful colourful and very rustic different than the tombs we saw in china.
We found some amazing restaurants near our hostel so we've been going to those for great food while we're here. It's still crazy we can goto a fancy restaurant and order a bunch of food appetizers, main, drinks , dessert etc and it's $14 total or 280,000 dong.
We head to bed for an early morning 6am for the DMZ tour. All day tour till 630pm. Touring the de militarized zone in the middle of Vietnam dividing north and south. Similar divide as Korea however not as hostile.
Goodnight :)
