Yesterday was Kathryn's birthday, and, having just arrived in Hue, Vietnam late the previous evening after our marathon tour of Hanoi and Halong Bay, we decided to have a lazy day by the pool. We read, slept, and had the cabana boy bring us the occasional drink. What a day!! Kathryn booked massages for us at the hotel. I've never had a (professional) massage before, so was pretty stoked. After heading out for some pho (vietnamese soup with rice noodles) and an hour and a half cyclo tour of Hu...
Hue, Vietnam, Vietnam rfbriberWe had high expectations for Hue, Vietnam (pronounced "whey", it is supposed to have a little accent mark above the "e"). Reputed to be the "cultural and intellectual heart of Vietnam", we had visions of a quaint town with cozy cafes and small guest houses. We arrived on a one-hour flight from Hanoi (which saved us eleven to twelve hours on a bus - well worth it) at around 7:30pm. We certainly did not expect massive package tourist hotels and a town littered with neon signs. Our hotel was one...

unser erster Stop Richtung Sueden ist Hue fuer eine Nacht um die Busfahrt etwas aufzuteilen. 12 std. waren es dieses Mal.<br><br>Hatten dieses Mal aber zum Glueck einen etwas komfortableren Schlaf-Bus.

Hue, Vietnam lukasgruber... their mothers. This was one sexy king, and i sincerely hope that i'm a direct descendant of this very cool man.<br><br>Now you know why there are so many VNese with the last name Nguyen: because my ancestors were perverts. Pierre still whines that he was born in the wrong place and at the wrong time but i'm still convinced he wouldn't be able to handle that many women. At least, not in one lifetime.<br><br>In the afternoon, we took a ...
Hue, Vietnam bebabui... as his female<br>assistant handed us our banh chung (sticky rice and pork wrapped in a<br>banana leaf). No table, napkin, silverware, or beverage just the<br>banh chung – and that's all that was needed. It was delicious! As<br>we ate our first round we noticed grandpa in the window staring and<br>smiling at us. After we devoured our first we ordered seconds – as<br>the owner, assistant, and ...
Huế, Thừa Thiên-Huế, Vietnam carlaandmikeDAY NINE<br>After a 12 hour sleeper train from Hanoi to Hue - we arrived first thing in a morning feeling more than a little jaded!<br>Each train cabin had 6 beds and it felt like sleeping on a wooden door - so its fair to say they were not comfortable!<br>At one stage we were playing cards and drinking beers when some Vietnamese guy came and stood outside our cabin door staring at us ... he stayed for about 5 mins and then started singing! We were just ...
Hue, Vietnam chopper_and_kat... that matter. I serenaded the guys for a while and when the vom started it’s way up I took it outside. <br><br>The mtn top was quiet, so I know the sound of me calling the dinosaurs out there was heard by the staff and all. I wretched and strained and finally got it all out. I remember lifting my head up in disbelief at what was going on and through the tears in my eyes I saw one the most beautiful skies I’ve ever seen. There was zero light pollution on the top of Bach Ma ...
Hue, Vietnam tex25... treated like royalty and given a complimentary room upgrade to a bungalow complete with its own private pool (which we ended up mainly admiring due to the incessant rain, although Bill did stick his toes in at one point). The room was beautiful, huge, gorgeous, modern, very Zen-like, and completely decadent. So much so that it was extremely difficult to ignore the disparity between our luxury living and what existed outside the high brick walls surrounding the ...
Hue, Vietnam lisabraz... our journey down the Perfume River, I began chatting with the Chinese man and his brother sitting next to me. The Chinese man lived in Los Angeles for twenty years but recently moved back to Vietnam (where he grew up) in order to manage his two Chinese restaurants in Vietnam. His brother was visiting from Oregon and that is why he had booked the tour. During our conversation he gave me the business card of his restaurant in Saigon and told me that I could go there and have a free meal ...
