... they have a choice to leave if they want. It was all a bit bizzarre but quite nice. Really good sunset. Headed back to the hotel and voila, here I am. The internet is sooooo bad and really irritating, I am very behind on my pictures now. Again, i'm in a rush. Going out for dinner in a sec. Don't leave until 12 tomorrow woohooo! Gonna try and find an intrnet cafe somewhere with faster connection and have a wonder around the town. Bye for now x

... was Minh Mang's, number 2 of 13. He was promoted to the throne at the age of 31 and ruled from 1820 to 1840. His tomb was actually built between 1840 and 1843 so he died before it was finished, meaning he never got to use it as his chalet, poor guy. Apparently, he was an excellent emperor, who put lots of useful and visionary social and agricultural programs in place for the people, and he was well loved.<br><br>I would say so: with 500 ...

... the bikes on a high point in town, and with our rucksacks on our backs, waded through the waist high water looking for a Hotel.<br><br>We all spent the evening last night sitting in the corridor of a little cafe on cushions. With us there was a Dutchman and 3 Japanese. We ordered tea, vodka and beer, and despite the flood in the kitchen we ordered a lot from the Menu. The cafe owner Nina (18) and her dad, Dong, could be heard wading to and from the door with plates of food and drink!

... So when we heard one coming down the mountain we were in shock. <br><br>I imagine we were about ¾ of the way there, but we were beat and would have loved a ride. We stopped him and Lenh tried to convince him to set something up, the guy wasn&#8217;t have it so we marched on. It was good though, we would have missed a lot of convo, wildlife, and exercise had we caught a lift from the bottom, plus the top wouldn&#8217;t have been such a pleasant surprise and that beer sure ...

... is so much easier to initiate conversation - "where are you from?" has led to many long conversations. After lunch I decided to explore the nearby Citadel on my own. I walked around it for about two hours, snapping pictures while constantly telling moto drivers that I prefer to walk. At 5 p.m. I headed back to the hostel to enjoy the free happy hour- which actually lasts about two hours. I chatted with the Australian couple that I had gone to Snake Village with, as well as the guy from ...

... stopping to turn when it happened. <br><br>Well off the bike and much looking. You could see him think "oh no what do I do". Then he say &#8220;we walk?&#8221; Yep I said so he pushed the bike with my bag and off we went. We walked a little past the first roadside place selling petrol to the second which had a compressed air generator. It was only 5-10 minutes. <br><br>So then I sat down has a Pespi and waited, 10 minutes later we were off ...

... of the day. We headed back and took full advantage of the free beer before meeting up with Nats parents and Co. Had a few more beers and dinner and I was in bed by nine o clock cause i was tired from the bus ride the night before... ummm well no... more like I had to many free beers and passed out as soon as I hit the bed.<br><br>The next morning we all went on a tour of Hué. We got picked up and headed to some temples. The temples ...

We woke early, looked out the window and it was absolutely beautiful outside :)<br> <br>We were moored in a very picturesque bay, surrounded by 20-30 other junks, it was very pretty. <br><br>We knew that not many people have a view like that when they wake up, so we felt really lucky. <br><br>It was cloudy pretty much all day yesterday except for the final couple of hours ...

Arrived in Hue about 11 AM. Took a fleet of taxis to the hotel -- an old big French built hotel, where we left our stuff and went for a sidewalk lunch -- had banana pancakes. Walked to the Perfume River and caught a Dragon boat up the Perfume River to the Heavenly Lady pagoda, back on board to TuTuc's tomb -- the fourth king of Cambodia. Saw his tomb and the ...
