Hej!
Jag skriver nu fran Hue, en gammal huvudstad i nagot gammalt kungadomme... Jag har aven hunnit med att tillbringa ett dygn i staden Hoa In som ligger runt 120km soder om Hue eller 4timmar med buss ifran Hue. Vagarna har ar inte de basta som ni forstar men utsikten fran bussen har varit helt fantastisk! Det finns sa himla vacker natur har i Vietnam. Allt fran oandliga risfalt till hoga berg fyllda med djungel! Bada staderna har varit lugna och det har varit valdigt manga vackra byggnader och platser att besoka.

Hoa In var en pytteliten stad med enormt mycket charm. Jag tillbringade mitt dygn i stadens gamla kvarter som ocksa ar attraktionen med staden. Den har inte paverkats nagot av kriget sa det ar val darfor den ar sa himla vacker. Att vandra runt bland stadens sma gator ar som att ga tillbaka i tiden och folket dar ar det vanligaste som jag mott hittils pa min resa. Det va en riktig rolig och mysig upplevelse!

Nu ar jag i Hue. En gammal huvudstad i nagot kungadomme. Har finns mycket mer historia men tyvarr sa har den mesta bombats bort... Men man kan fortfarande besoka och se en del av denna historia. Det finns en stor borg mitt i staden som fortfarande star kvar men nu bor folk inutti dess murar. Det ar mojligt att besoka "The Forbidden City" innanfor murarna och det gick gardagen at. Tyvar sa var manga byggnader forstorda har ocksa men man kunde se den gamla tronen som kejsaren satt pa. Det fanns aven manga andra byggnader att utforska i denna forbjudna stad...
Det finns sa mycket vacker historia har som bara har forstorts av krig och bomber.
Idag har jag hyrt en motortaxi som kort mig runt i Hue och visat mig en massa stallen. Det har varit valdigt skoj eftersom vi akt genom nastan hela staden och jag har fatt se hur folk bor i alla klasser. Inte alltid en vacker syn men som sagt sa har det varit valdigt skoj.

Nu vantar jag pa mitt tag som gar 19.11 ikvall mot Hanoi. Resan ska ta runt 15 timmar och det blir en mjukstart mot vad som vantar mig i Kina tror jag :)

ps. Bussresan som skulle vara hemsk var inte alls sa farlig men den va langt ifran rolig... Bussen hade typ 3 rader av dubbelsanger vilket va en rolig och ny upplevelse for min del men inte sa enormt bekvam fast mycket bekvamare an en vanlig buss med saten.
Vi hors igen fran Hanoi nasta gang! Ha d bra allihopa! CAO

Hi!
I'm writing now from Hue, an old capitol in som old kingdom. I have also spent a day in Hoa In wich is 120km south of Hue or 4h bus journey. So you understand that the roads here aren't the best but the view from the bus has been just amazing. I've seen endless ricefields to high mountains filled with jungle. The nature here is just breath taking!
There have been very many beutiful places to visit in both of the cities and they where very calm and peaceful cities.

Hoa In is a tiny city with a lot of charm! I spent a day in the old quarter of the city wich is also the main attraction of the city. It hasen't been touched by any bombs so its very well preserved and very beutiful. To walk around in the small alleys of the city is like to go back in time and the people here have been the nicest and the warmest that I have met so far on my journey. It has been a very nice experince...

Now I'm in Hue. A bigger city with more history but also a city that have had many buildings destroyed by bombs. You can still visit a lot of this history becouse there is a cittadel in the middle of the city but now a lot of people live inside the cittadels walls. It's possible to visit "the forbidden city" inside the cittadel wich was the home for the king and that was how I spent my day yesterday. Unfortunetly a lot of buildings have been destroyed here as well but there are still a few to explore and you can still see the chair that the king used to sitt in.
There is so much history here that have got destroyed by war and bombs unfortunetly.
Today I have rented a motortaxi to drive me around in the city and show me a couple of places. It has been a lot of fun becouse we have been almost around whole Hue and I've seen how people live in different social classes. Not always a pretty sight but it has been a lot of fun.

Now I'm waiting for my train that will leave at 19.11 to Hanoi. The journey will take around 15h and I see this as practise for what to come in China :)

I'll write from Hanoi again! Take care!!! CAO
