The journey continues! After 4 days in Hoi An, we headed up the coast to Hue - the ex capital of Vietnam. But first: the Hai Van Pass. It's one of the most famous road in Vietnam for a number of reasons: - beautiful scenic route winding around a mountainside above the ocean - geographic and political boundary between ancient kingdoms - climatic divide between warm south and cold north (it is cold now!!!) I haven't told Scotty so he will probably make fun of me once reading this, but it was so beautiful I teared up while we were driving through the pass. It makes the journey all worth it! In Hue, we explored the Imperial City, now a UNESCO site. It was so grand! Even though a lot of it was destroyed by the war, they have been trying to restore a lot of it. We spent the day exploring and getting lost. At night we ate more Banh Mi and made new friends.
We have reached our halfway point so Beatrice (our motorbike) got an oil change, air in her tires and her chain tighten.
