Coffins to go;
choose your
model. Hoi An, central
Vietnam |
Da Nang is an industrial city
about 30 miles north of Hoi
An,
and was a major American
base during the Vietnam War.
I gave it a
miss... |
Highway
One runs almost
the full length of Vietnam.
It is a narrow strip of
bitumen, completely
inadequate to its task |
The promised 'big bus' from
Hue
morphed into a van, hopelessly
overloaded and driven by
a
maniac. The axle broke in the
middle of nowhere. |
What a miserable spot to
get
emergency repairs. Bleak,
wet and islolated .. |
Traffic on Highway One
has to
take a motorized punt at this
point |
Hanoi. The city is
built around
this pretty lake, and has an
entirely different feel
from
the tropical sprawl of Saigon |
Hanoi street in
winter. The air
is chilly enough for
coats
