Almost done with Vietnam posts! Think we only have the rest of Hanoi left to go… phew! Ploughing through all my pix is tiring! Hoi An was a lovely stop on my trip, and while I had thought twice about visiting it as it was pretty far from Hanoi, I’m glad I made the trip…
FINALLY we continue with the Vietnam posts! Gosh these are sooooo overdue! I shall churn the rest of them out before I head on my April trip, I promise! So now we’re talking about Hue… My everlasting memory of Hue will be of how wet it was, and yet I was extremely lucky to miss…

Utter chaos as motorbikes swerve by inches from my taxi. Others bikes took to the curb, weaving between tourists to get through the jam, while several bikes zoomed…
More Vietnam posts! The hotel I stayed at in Hue was the Valentine Hotel, where I only stayed for 1 night after my overnight train ride from Hanoi to Hue. I would depart early next morning to catch a bus to Hoi An. You can find more pix at the TripAdvisor review site, those down…
