.Visiting Hue and the Rain.

The next morning we took a bus to Hue, managed to loose each other at the end, but I found this German girl and we went for the housing. On our way a guy talked us into taking his place instead and so we did. We decided that we will have an easy day that day – we just walked around the city and ate some tasty food. At the end, we went to this bar with amazingly nice staff that even spoke some Lithuanian, met a guy there, moved to another place, met some more people, moved some more, played some lousy pool, had some fun and some food and headed home.

It was a fun night, followed by not so much fun day. We took a tour and we got some extra: non-stop rain. The places we visited – pagodas and tombs were nice, but the rain froze us into the two violet ice-cubes. Especially one pagoda was amazing, where we came just in time to watch monks praying and it was really something for me.
In the evening we took a night bus to Hanoi and had a freezing night in it. It was cold, really cold. In the morning we 6 were left to `wait for the pick-up` that never showed up. Nice, really. We ended up taking a cab to the Hanoi Backpackers Hostel for 0.5$ each [well, ok, it’s not much, but it’s the principal, how do you abandon people like that].
