Hue - Random people!





After spending the afternoon on the bus and being constantly hassle for rooms and motorbikes, my impression of Hue was rather negative i have to admit. Feeling hassled and craving a bit of normality we decided to check out a french restaurant which looked like the most vibrant place in town! Unfortunately prices were rather high and when we decided ' what the heck, lets splash out'. we're told that there's no table for one hour....i don't think our hungry tummies could have wait.

Out of nowhere a middle aged American man appears in his socks and announces that he is going to buy us dinner! what, why, how we didn't understand. This guy managed to persuade us to sit with his group but we would pay for ourselves (he agreed but that never happened-sneaky) Turns out we joined a huge table of about 15 prespretarrian (not sure how its spelt) They were in Vietnam sponsoring girls in poor families to be educated. They were really nice and interesting....what a random evening!

The next day we hire motorbikes to take us around the Royal tombs, they were really intereasting. each one unique. The highlight of the day was the food we ate food lunch. It was the most beautiful Vietnamese food I've had so far!
