Quick stop at Hué

We are sad to leave Ha Long Bay ... and having to take another night train 😭
My last experience with the night train resulted in 1 hr of sleep. The one we took from Hanoi to Hué was a bit better ... 5 hrs of sleep certainly is better than 1 hr.


As we arrived in Hué early morning (8 AM), we were happy to start our motorbike tour early in Hué (still ending rather late)! We got the real experience of the crazy Vietnam driving skills! 😊


On the tour we saw a bunch of things including the Imperial Citadel (home once to the Imperial family), the Royal Tombs and the Tien Mu Pagoda.

We will move on to Hoi An tomorrow. But for now, we enjoy the rest ofcthe evening ...

Mekong Riverside dinner

Floating down the river Mekong we end up at a small town in Laos (Muang Pakbèng) to spend the night. We found a really nice restaurant with a view and had an amazing meal! We also discovered the happy bar, although happy might be a bit exaggerated. In the morning we continue our way on the Mekong direction Luang Prabang.

Klong riverboat tour and Wat Po visit

As we have noticed, it's better to do stuff in the morning in Bangkok. In the afteroon it just becomes too much. At that point waiting lines grow exponentially, whether it being for going for lunch or visiting one of the many amazing sites in Bangkok. So 8AM we hit the road, starting a tour by boat on the Klongs (canals). An amazing trip along the many (mainly wooden) houses built into the canals. You also come across a huge Buddha statue and get a view of the Wat Arun temple complex. Next up was the Royal temple of Wat Po. Wat Po is the home to +1000 Buddha statues/images, from small to large ones, including a massive 46m long reclining Buddha.
