Now we are in hanoi, we have been to hue which to be honest was pretty boring we got stuck there longer than we wanted because all the buses were full. Hanoi is pretty manic and I think we are all done with the citys in vietnam, they are all so busy so much noise and traffic. We have also had quite a few encounters with over pesistent touts who have realy pushed us t the limits and lots of arguments have been had!! We arrived yesterday and slept most of the day after taking an overnight bus crammed with people. Havent really done alot here except bought about a million cds, for 30p its hard not to!! We wanted to go and see Ho Chi Minhs embalmed body today but its shut. We have booked a 3 day tour around halong bay where we sleep out on the boat for tommorow, looking forward to that so much. A bit of peace quiet and to be near the sea again. We have a flight to Laos on the 10th July, we decieded to splash out on that otherwise it would have been a 36 hour bus journey!! No thankyou! Will get some more pictures on soon.

boring Hue
I disagree with you on Hue being boring. It is a quieter place than Hanoi or HCMC; but there are so many fun things to do and see. The food there is the best in Vn too and reasonable. So much history and beauty to enjoy there. The People are very friendly. They make you feel like a friend and don't try to rip you off.
