There isn’t much to tell about today. Well, actually there is one thing: it has been the first time in my life to spend 27 hours in a bus. I left Saigon at 8am saying goodbye to the ladies of my hotel and to Mr. Antonio who walked with me to the bus station.
The bus was made by special seats where in theory you can stay and stretch yourself like in little beds. The problem was that these buses are made for Asian people and not for people like me. Practically I couldn’t move, with no rooms for legs; it was the most uncomfortable ride I have ever had. A classic seat would have been much better. After 27 hours, approximately at 11.30 am of the day after I reached Hue, the former capital of Vietnam.
I planned originally to go to Hoi An first but since I am flying out from the city of Da Nang which is only 30 minutes from Hoi An and 3 hours from Hue, I thought it was better to visit the furthest city first and then remain in Hoi An until the very last moment before my flight. So finally I arrived in Hue tired, dirty and with no clean t-shirts. I needed a shower and a couple of hours rest. But I had to find a decent guest house first...
