We said our good-byes to new friends and exchanged emails with Mo and Jaz. Dirk and his drinking buddy from Denmark said good-bye and off we went to the train station.
We had decided on taking a daytime (vs overnight) train for the 11 hour trip to the city of Hue thinking we could enjoy the varying countryside of Vietnam along the way. The train left at 10:30 so there were plenty of daylight hours to enjoy. I took a few photos which are somewhat blurry due to the moving train.
We arrived in Hue around 9:45, checked into the White Lotus Hotel – very fancy and I had to check my booking because I thought it looked expensive. But it’s only $45/night. After leaving off our suitcases we walked in the cold (to us – 55!) to a nearby lively restaurant for a light meal. Then slept very well.
