Heading down to central Vietnam- HUE After an ok nights sleep on the rattling sleeper train, we arrived in Hue. The weather was horrible!! It was really wet, pouring down with rain which made Hue look not so pretty however it was an amazing place for some more Vietnamese history. We checked in to the backpackers hostel which cost us $6 a night with breakfast... Bargain. We had a dorm room with 8 other girls which was fun plus a good opportunity to meet new frien...

They've all rolled into one!). Anyways... At Bangkok we were, and after a half an hour Q for the taxi we finally made it to our hotel.
