A nice late start this morning allowed us to have a relaxing breakfast and sleep in. We were supposed to visit some remote fishing village and a remote temple. We found out that the entry in to the village was $20US per person and was 90 minute drive away. We might regret it later but…

4:45am! A terribly early day, but we had to do it. Da was there to pick us up and transport us to the ticket office. The office was buzzing- hundreds of people trying to get their tickets for Angkor Wat. We were directed to a long line up and waited and waited. It was pretty…

Our 4:30am wake up call came way to early! But we were told you had to be at the market early to catch the action. Jung and the bus were there for a 5:30 departure. We caught a boat from Can Tho’s main dock and were off. The biggest floating market in the Mekong Delta, Cai…

Today we had a bit of a later start thank heavens. We met Tamtam at 9:30 in the lobby for our walking tour of the old town. We piled into the bus and drove the short distance into town – parked the bus and started into the old quarter. Apparently you have to buy tickets…

Woke up this morning at 7 AM ready for our 8 AM departure from Hue. We were told it was about a 3 1/2 hour bus ride along to Danang. Our bus was quite lovely and so we settled in for the ride – of course we departed during rush hour, so we got to…

Got off the train at about 8:30 to a little bit of cloud in Hue. Our tour guide Tam Tam was there to greet us with a smile and a bus. She escorted us to the hotel where we were able to have a buffet breakfast on the rooftop not much of a view mind…
