Hue

Luckily this is only a very short entry, I have had to three in a row and am running out of stamina. Hue is very much on the backpacker route, but everyone we met told us how the ancient citadel and pogada are the only really things really worth seeing. Thatin mind we took a 14 hour sleeper bus and arrived in Hue at 8.30, then got back on the bus that afternoon to take us to Hoi an.
The sleeper bus I must say could have been worse, however the poster promised 'large and luxurious toilet'-there was no toilet. It also promised 'american suspension so bus always inbalance'. The beds were effectively double beds and I had to share with a german guy with no sense of humour at all. Having said all that, 12 hours passed relatively quickly.
Now we are in hoi an, a pretty small town, and it will be toms turn on the blog next.
