Monday 9 December
I had quite a long chat at
breakfast with an English couple from Fulham. They were going from South to
North and gave some useful tips for Hoi An. In fact they tipped me in favour of
simplifying my itinerary further and spending longer in Hoi An and then flying
straight to SaiGon.
Then I spent the day
site-seeing, concentrating on the area around the West Lake – the Temple and
Pagoda. On the way I came across fishermen, a cool cafe and a rat having his lunch.

Finally, I had a walk around the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Government area. The
day rapidly slipped by and I went back to the hotel via the station to buy a
ticket from Hue to DaNang. Again this proved easy. What the VN railways lack in
trains and track, they make up for with a great computerized reservation
system.
