After the turbulence of the typhoon and to be stuck in the middle of
nowhere for 3 days, we were happy to move on. The next destination
was Hue, the old capital of Vietnam. We visited the forbidden city,
it is the little brother of the one in Beijing. Took a ride with a
rickshaw
through the old town and visited museums. We spent the evenings with
2 guys from Britain (we already met them in Phong Nha, they are also
on a motorbike tour through Vietnam) drank beer for free in their
hostel and were eating delicious burgers while playing billiard.
It
was not far from Hue to Hoi An but it took quiet a long time to go
there. The road goes a long the coast and is really hilly. It rained
like fuck and the wind was blowing hard. Unfortunately we were only
equipped with a rain poncho and plastic bags, not like the Britain s ;)with their hightec gear. At this moment we were so jalouse about
their equipment. But thankfully we arrived Hoi An save but totally
wet.
Hoi
An has an ancient habour and it is known for its custom made clothes
and shoes. It is full with restaurants and Bars, little bridges and
cloth/food market. The architecture is influenced by the french
(Vietnam was a french colony). It just looks beautiful. In the eve
we met again the Britains and some other people from the farmstay,
it was like a reunion. We went altogether for some beer and an
awesome dinner in a quiet chic restaurant. The next day we rented a
bicycle and drove to the beach unfortunately we could not use it because the typhoon let its marks. We also let some custom made shoes done for us. Jeff has now custom made Flip Flops :).
