As planned, I took the night train that took me from Hanoi to Hue city. The tickets were reserved ahead in a special carriage. I wanted to experience something different. The carriage had different and fancy (for oriental style) Violette ornaments and the departure was scheduled for the end of the day, around 19:00.
Vietnam – Hanoi & Halong Bay
I flew from Bangkok to Hanoi and arrived at night. Stayed at a backpacker’s hostel in the old quarter, close to the market. This is a golden rule for me – Always be close to the city centre to avoid the mess over transportation. Wake up with the mix of confusing noises coming from the market, people, motorbikes… a chaotic city with frenetic rhythm.
