Train to Hue

We spent another long day traveling. The 4 hour bus ride from Ha Long bay was followed by an overnight train ride from Hanoi to Hue. We spent the night in a sleeper car with two friends. One guy was from Germany and the other was from Nepal. They became friends when the German visited Nepal and they met there. They were super nice and funny. The guy from Nepal was really nice to talk to. He had informed us that the trek to the Annapurna Base Camp actually takes about 14-17 days so needless to say, we wont be doing that trek. However, he told us of a few other hikes to go on that would work with our time table. We will have to figure out a new game plan for Nepal.
Hue has been nice. It is more quiet than Hanoi, which is nice. We were able to visit the Training and Vocational Center Spike's Grandparents have helped to be a part of with Choice Humanitarian. There were girls learning how to sew and it was fun to see the place Spike has heard many stories about. It has been a great day.
