Delayed flight - but quicker than the train



Tuesday 10 December

I’m off to Hue today with Vietnam Airways. All went well until I arrived at the airport and was given a boarding pass for a flight some three hours later than the one I booked. What’s all this then, asked I? 

The check-in person rushed off to her supervisor and came back with the news that the flight had been re-scheduled. In fact the time passed relatively painlessly and the short flight to Hue was over by 5.30 with me in the hotel less than an hour later. It was still a lot quicker than the 13 hours the train is timetabled to take.

Hue instantly struck me as a pleasant and quite laid back place – at least in the tourist area.
