China Beach Da Nang

Mit dem Zug(sleeping train) gings dann von Hanoi nach Da Nang. Die Asiaten haben versucht uns irgendeinen Schnaps anzudrehen, aber wir sind nicht darauf eingegangen :-D
Von dort aus haben wir den Bus nach Hoi An genommen, einer sehr schoenen Kleinstadt. Da die Stadt beruehmt fuer ihre guten Schneider sind, haben wir uns gleich ein paar Kleider …

Took my 4th overnight train last night...this time with a Vietnamese woman and a Russian couple.

Wir sind nun in Hoi An angekommen.Eine verschlafene, romantische Stadt, voll mit Lampions, die wir in einer 1-Tagestour erkunden wollen, bevor es wieder in den Zug nach Ha Noi geht. Diesmal aber im softsleeper-Abteil!
Gestern haben wir eine kleine Auszeit aufgrund der anstrengenden Fahrt genommen. Trotzdem haben wir uns noch 1 mal kurz auf die …
