Hai Van Pass to Hue

Arrived in Hue yesterday by motorbike, it took us about 6.5 hours from Hoi An where we rode past the beach in Da Nang city, before reaching the Hai Van passes winding roads up the mountain giving us a great view of the beach and city. We then passed the planes in some rural areas, taking in the landscape and seeing how the locals lived there. Eventually we arrived in Hue, experiencing the city traffic and driving which looks like chaos compared to the UK, although was not so bad to drive in max and I thought (you basically do whatever you want and everyone else has to react).

Dropped off the bikes no problem and we were heading for something to eat, when a group of Vietnamese school children asked us to have some pizza with them at a nearby restaurant, a challenge set by their teacher to find foreigners in the area to try help them become more confident with their English. We met the teachers when we arrived and sat and spoke to the kids for an hour and enjoyed the free pizza. The children and teachers were very nice and thanked us for joining them as they had found it difficult to find people, something max and me were happy to do telling them about some of our Scottish culture. Exploring the Imperial city today followed by touring the wider area tomorrow.Baca selengkapnya
