The private tourist enterpreneurs in Vietnam are very well organized – they will send you from hands to hands… Tourist bus companies invented “open ticket”. Since most of the tourist attractions are located along the 2000-km road linking Hanoi and Saigon they offer just for 22 USD bus ticket who allow you to make as many stops as you want on this route. It is really good deal but keep in mind theat you will be forced to travel with this one company all over the way… They offer free pick up from the hotel but at the destination they will deliver you to the hotel of their choice…
I boarded the bus in Hanoi at 7.30 pm. Yes, I got a seat but there were not enough space for my knees… Can you imagine such a position during 16 hours? They also take into the bus more people then there were seats – all locals – they were sitting just on the floor…
At the destination they offer me their hotel (6 USD single room with bath). It was not so fancy but I was so tired that I accepted their offer…
Hue is the former capital of Vietnam – in the middle of the town there os old, huge citadel – they charge 55000 for entry. Perfume River is crossing the city… Enough… Good night!
