We have a two day riding break now as we are shuttled to our ship “AU CO” below. We spent an overnight on board with a quick kayaking the next morning. At night, we shared a dinner on board with Graham and Chris from Australia.
The next day, we were shuttled back to Hanoi to catch the overnight train to Hue . We had dinner in Hanoi first in a hot restaurant on the third floor. We had “Bun Cha” (soup with meatball & beef” )and “Nam” (spring rolls). Loved it.
On the overight train, we shared Cabin 10 with Graham and Chris. We were joined by Elena (CA) and John (UK) as we polished off 3 bottles of wine and some Tiger beer. Everyone kept poking their heads in our doorway as we were quite loud. A couple guys from New Zealand stopped by and gave us some moonshine (29%) they got at one of their homestays. Beth and Elena tasted it and after that it was time for bed.
Love the boat, hope you both had a good nights sleep.
