12 Hung Vuong Thanh Pho Hue, Vietnam, 47000, 84-54-825001
November 28, 2006 Tuesday Arriving at Hue train station at 9am we caught taxis to our hotel (Duy Tan Hotel) and had a little time to relax before taking a slow cruise down the Perfume River by dragon boat. We stopped off at the Thien Mu Pagoda before heading further along the river towards the tomb of the Emperor Tu Duc. On the walk from the river bank to the tomb we saw a little village making insence sticks and the symbol of Vietnam; the conical hat. The tomb of Tu Duc is actually over a ve...
Hue, Vietnam jacinta81We departed Hoi An early in the morning, boarding a public bus for the last time this trip for our four hour trip to Hue. To give you an idea of the road conditions, the distance is only 120 kilometers! Numerous hairpin turns, windy roads, and an area around a bridge so potholed that we were moving more side-to-side than forward meant very slow progress. After a 1 pm arrival in Hue, we had a few minutes to recuperate in the hotel before heading out for lunch and a tour of the city in the ligh...
Hue, Vietnam meezerman[Nicole] Useless info about VN 1. Best meal in VN: too many to list 2. Near death experience with motorbikes: 100's 3. Nightmares of motorbikes running over me: countless and this caused many sleepless nights 4. Worst public restroom experience: train from Da Nang to Hue WC;note: do not drink or eat before long train rides Top picks for VN 1. Scuba diving in Nha Trang: freezing cold, but still worth it. 2. Train ride from Da Nang to Hue (~2 1/2hrs): suppose to arrive at 10:30am but actually a...
Hanoi, Vietnam nicandpete
... vi att en vakt kommer och stanger grinden. FAST. Fan, laskigt som fan, guiden blir nervos och sager att vi inte kan sticka ut huvudingangen eftersom killen dar nere som skoter inpaseingen inte kanner igen oss. Hjartat borjar bulta lite fortare. Valdigt fin grav dock vill jag bara ut. Efter stund inne pa omradet sa tar hag rygg pa nagra tyska turister och smalter in i klungan pa vag ut. Ingen verkar bry sig sa jag kommer ut helskinnad. 55 tusen dong sparade samt ett litet aventyr. <br>

Hue, Vietnam bridyfitz... the longest and this pushed him over the edge. They fled to Hong Kong via a really small and cramped boat. Lenh spoke of people starving to death on it and possible cannibalism. He was in a different section of the boat than had experienced the roughest part, but from what he said, it was no joy ride. He added that the terrible conditions were compounded by the fear of pirates taking over the boat. This was 1989. They were held in a refugee camp and were finally let out when they were ...
Hue, Vietnam tex25... unable to completely lay straight. Additionally, the white people were quarrainted to the back of the bus and were only allowed to occupy top bunks. There was no bathroom on the bus - just rest stops every four hours. Needless to say, I limited myself to about six sips of water the entire journey as to avoid extreme discomfort. The bus was freezing cold and there was nothing to do to avoid the blasts of freezing air that shot out of the uncovered air vent above my legs. Luckily I was ...
Huế, Thừa Thiên-Huế, Vietnam seasiaboundToday I took a day tour of the city. It was the easiest way to see the tombs. I would have gotten lost doing it myself and a driver would be a lot more than 120,000 dong. I went for the most expensive tour based on the lunch, in hindsight I should have gone for the 90,000 one. Oh well what's 2 USD. <br><br> <br ...
