Hue to Hoi An

When we left off I was talking about Vientiane and we are now in Hoi An. I will fill you in. We got on a plane in Vientiane and flew 1 hour to Hanoi. The flight was very good and (seemed) short. We arrived in Hanoi to stay 2 days and for the first day just walked around. For dinner the first night in Hanoi mom wanted to go to this place called Golden Land. Supposedly this place was good. They were famous for a dish with fish called Cha Ca. A person who lives in Vietnam told us of it. (aka mom’s friend). So we wandered around for 2 hours (Eli Mosk tell Mrs. Bates again) to no avail. (The place moved/ went out of business) “I thought it was here” mom said.(As you can see we did not know it moved.) So after 10:00 pm we went to a nice place on a corner of the road near our place and ate dinner.

 The next day I was sick, I up-chucked 4 times. 3 in the room and one on the street outside next to all the on lookers with their OMG GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!! faces on. We took a taxi to the train station and got in our own berth. It was loud with some stupid people from Australia with a radio turned all the way up with terrible music blaring from the speakers. (Oblivious about people around them). Some how I got to sleep and woke up in Hue. It was gray and over cast. (Mom thought the bathroom was even worse than on the bus!!!)

A driver picked us up from the train station and drove us to the Sports One Hotel. The hotel had no reason for the name; sports were not related to the hotel. The room was really nice and after a bath I was good as new (Sick wise). I had a sleep and woke up to an overcast Hue’. The next few days were rainy and cold. We wandered around the royal city and saw the wreckage from the bombing and asked our selves “why”? We endured a few more cold days and took a sleeping bus, which was GREAT!!! With beds and soft pillows for 4 hours. I wanted to be on the bus longer! We went to Hoi An which we are in now and LOVE IT!!    *)    JM
