Hoi An

After Mu Ne we dicided that we would skip Nha Trang, which was an over crowded tourist spot, so went directly to Ho An. We figured we would save some money and go directly by bus, as it was far cheaper than the train. As a scouse brahaman with whom I have lost contact once said 'Oh my word'. They made Diego look like a granny on an autobahn. The seats kept wobbling for 20 seconds after each bump making it impossible to sleep. With huge drops on our right hand side and three mad drivers it was a frightening experience. Due to a flat tire, and other delays, it took us 21 hours door to door. They had three drivers, one slept in the passage way, and anther in a hammock set up by the exit doors! We were shattered by the time we got to Ho An! Today we went for a day trip to My Son and tomorrow we will be going to Hue for one night prior to taking the overnight TRAIN to Hanoi.
