Bamboo Boat & Train Journey to Huè

On our last full day in Hoi An we didn't really feel like shopping around anymore (also a bit conscious of our suitcase space), so after meeting Annika & Nils for Coffee at our local spot and some Pho for breakfast we booked ourselves onto a 3€ coconut boat tour thinking it would be a nice romantic end to our time in Hoi An.
When we arrived at the coconut boat starting point (we went there on our crappy little scooter obviously), we realised how wrong we'd been. As we arrived about three people jumped in front of our bike to sell us the tour we'd already bought online.
Shortly after we got into our boat and saw the extent of what we had gotten ourselves into. The river was full with boats, tourists screaming, boats spinning and loud music was playing. At least our bamboo boat captain was very nice which made the 50 mins tour as enjoyable as it could be. We took some nice pictures and Will had a go at crab fishing.
Back in Hoi An we ended the night with more meat skewers and a massage.

The next morning, after saying goodbye to our favourite coffee shop 🥲, we set off to Da Nang. We dropped off the scooter and made our way to the train station. Our train to Huè was bang on time and we started the slow but scenic journey which we can highly recommend. When we arrived in Huè it was already getting dark, so we quickly dropped our bags off at our accommodation and settled in a nice little restaurant for some local delicacies that unfortunately turned out to be not so delicate but at least we have tried them.Read more
