Lost in Vietnam...

Well, we finally made it out of Hoi An with bigger and heavier bags and less money. Having a tailor make clothes for you is highly addictive. I would not recommend it for the credit card heavy people. I came away with 4 pairs of pants, a skirt, 3 shirts and 3 pairs of sandals. I wanted more, but the inner voice told me not to. Hoi An was a very cute town with a better personality than the other parts of Vietnam that we have seen. We had to leave this morning to get away from the clothes or we would be broke. We left by bus at 7:30am to arrive in Hue at 1:00pm. We are now wasting time until our next bus to Hanoi at 5:00pm. It will be a very long night as the ride is 13 hours. I'm used to the journeys now, so it's not that bad. The bus is crazy though and always feeling like it's tipping over. We wanted to take the train that is more comfortable, but of course it's a holiday so it's booked. I swear the holidays in SE Asia last for weeks!

We will arrive in Hanoi in the morning and hopefully stay for a few days before heading into Laos. I'll let you know how Hanoi is...I hear it's insane with traffic. I can't imagine anything worse than Saigon, but we will see! We're pros at crossing crazy traffic now.
