18 hours and 1 very strange breakfast later our bus arrived in Hue. I was sooo glad to be able to shower and change clothes even if I was crammed into a tiny restroom downstairs at backpackers. We had to wait around an hour to check in anyway so that passed the time. We only had one day in Hue but apart from the Citadel there wasn't a lot to do.

Also they kept making us pick the teacher's kids and give them presents which I didn't agree with. I suppose the company ...

I'll split this entry into a few parts so it doesn't end up looking like a mini novel. I'll start with beginning of December and we started to really plan onward travels.
