Oct 31, 2009 - Hue

Spent another evening in Hanoi before heading to the station to catch the overnight sleeper train to Hue - sat in a lakeside bar for a few hours and were fascinated watching two Kingfishers at the side of the lake. ... However, this is where the inner sleeping bags we bought the day before really came into their own - mine was sealed so tightly round my neck all night that nothing was coming in! We had just one day in Hue, which was enough! Although I did take the time to have a Vietnamese hair cut! Quite brave, I thought! Not really though, because the salon was in a hotel, not just on the street. ... It was an old 1930's hotel (I mean the original!) and the hairdresser's chair was like an old fashioned dentist chair.Spent another evening in Hanoi before heading to the station to catch the overnight sleeper train to Hue - sat in a lakeside bar for a few hours and were fascinated watching two Kingfishers at the side of the lake. ...
