The road to Hue. After Vinh it really couldn't get any worse. We got on a minibus to Hue, a 6 hour ride. The bus that could seat about 25 people was about 3/4 full when we set off leaving us plenty of room for the journey. However this soon changed. Every 5 minutes the conductor type person would be dragging people from the street onto the bus. At its fullest the bus was carrying 45 people. On the back made for 4 there were 7 including me, Jim, a Vietnamese couple (who were sharing their food with us), another youngish Vietnamese guy and 2 veteran soldiers complete with their helmets. The journey was cramped, to say the least but also quite entertaining and included a lunchstop where pointing at someone elses food and holding up 2 fingers was the only way we got served. At 4pm we arrived at Hue - 2 hours late. We quickly found a great hotel and went out for a nice meal - we gave a sigh of relief and went to the bar.
