The joys of budget travelling
Entry 7 of 8 | show all | print this entry |
A rough couple of days since I last wrote. Delayed in Hanoi after returning from sapa as succumbed to very dodgy tummy and was laid up sick for a bit. Gathered the strength to hop on the night bus from Hanoi to Hue last night, turned out to be an eventful journey........ not suprisingly, not much sleep and just as I nodded off, the bus was pulled over by the police, from what we could ascertain, they were searching the luggage holds for 'something illegal', looked like the drivers were running a seperate business on the side if you get my drift. An interesting experience, Hey ho !
History Lesson..........the vietnamese have been hammered by everyone, most recently the french and americans. A very sobering day spent in the DMZ north of Hue climbing through VC tunnels etc and learning about the war. Everyone should do it whilst in Vietnam, it's not all holiday and fun and the vietnamese still suffer the aftermath of the war. Hue is a lovely city but all but destroyed by conflict, so sad.
