Camellia Hue Hotel

... ett antal liter svett och en jakla manga klunkar vatten sa kom vi tillslut fram. Ett stort jakla omrade som tyvarr var ratt forstort. Manga av de gamla byggnaderna var slitna eller bara ruiner kvar av dem efter manga ar av krig och daligt underhall. Men nu borjar de renovera och aterstalla sa om nagra ar sa ar platsen valdigt fin.<br><br>Dagen efter bestamde vi oss for att spana in flertalet kungagravar utanfor staden.<br>Vi hoppas pa en buss som ska kora runt oss. Vi stannar till ...

... bloke<br>that had jsut got on were too big to fit in these beds. So he moved the Vietnamese people around so there were three beds available. Then he picked up a girl and put her on a seat to share with someone else. Later he made beds on the floor so more people could get on.<br>Luckily there was a toilet on the bus so we didnt have to hold on until the bus driver stop. This was good until it started to smell, unfortunately i had the bunk next to it. The bunks where very ...

... the tomb from 1864 to 1867. When the guy gets to the throne, he starts planning for the construction of his tomb. While he's still alive, he uses the place as his chalet, where he can go write poetry, play the guitar, go fishing and hunting, catch up on movies he missed 'cause he was too busy running the nation... much like what Pierre does when we go to Lake Hughes. We are talking about a major big place here, not a little coffin. It has ...

... je me souviens, je suis retourne a Hue et je me suis senti d'un coup tout elegant a chapeauter une jolie jeune fille svelte vetue de sa tunique Ao Dai blanche ondoyant autour d'elle. Je me suis senti tout fier d'accompagner cette jolie creature. <br> <br> Et maintenant, me voila un peu perdu mais rafraichi de cette brise soulevant mes tressages! Et toutes ces mobylettes autour de moi, qui nous depassent."Oh, mais j'y suis! Je dois avoir tourbillonne ...

... felt relieved to hear, bc I thought I was about to have to carry that thing all the way up. Another man had entered the building, he looked western, but was of SE Asian decent. He asked if he could join us for the day and we said we&#8217;d love to have him. We then found out that he spoke Vietnamese as he spoke with the girl at the desk, so we had him translate a few things that we had problems getting across to her earlier. She added that we should take our valuables, this unnerved ...

... that the women at the table were able to stomach the shots much more gracefully than two men. <br><br>Next we downed the bile/vodka shot and soon the food was brought out. The appetizer was a mix of sesame seeds and ground snake bones, served with a cracker. It was surprisingly good. The entrees came out one by one - fried snake meat, snake spring rolls, snake "buffalo wings" (basically snake meat on the bone like a chicken wing), sauteed snake innards with vegetables (took one small ...

Today it was a DMZ tour (180,000) with a 6am start. This tour was a lot of driving. We drove 1.5 hours to Dong Ha which gave me a chance to sleep some more. Actually the whole bus slept most of the day. There weren't that many people so everyone spread out. First stop breakfast and to pick up a guide. <br><br> <br>Then it was off down highway 1 to a statue of ...

... for life as they watched a 31-year old freak out at the sight of an elephant. The 2nd half of the day was spent enjoying the music from a Vietnamese wedding (sounded like children's music, really) and lounging by the pool. <br><br>We headed to a restaurant on the opposite side of the city for dinner. The meal was amazing, it was a 7 course dinner that ...

... br>(Still later) <br><br>We went for dinner at an Indian restaurant tonight, which is quite unusual for Vietnam, but it was ab-so-lute-ly DELICIOUS. <br><br>We've missed our Indian curries since leaving the UK, so we treated ourselves to a slap-up Indian, with starters, sides, mains, naan, rice, lassi, beers and all in all it came to the monstrous total of about GBP 9 with tip, or US $18 total! <br><br>That's definitely not cheap for here ...
