Hue, Vietnam
Hue is a small city along the east coast of Vietnam. We stayed in a hotel with the most generous and caring staff you can imagine, every time we returned after a day out, they would sit us down, bring us cold towels, drinks, fruit and local food to try, they would ask us about our day, help us choose where to eat and where to go. We felt like we were staying in luxury! Not bad for just £3 each a night.
We visited the imperial citadel and, once again, rented a moped to explore the area. We ended up riding over 100 miles across some of the most incredible scenery we have seen this trip. We rode through tiny towns where the locals waved or gawped as we went past, we went though mountains, over lakes and along remote coastlines, eventually stopped at a place called elephant springs - a little haven used by the locals to swim and relax. We rode back against the backdrop of an awesome sunset and dodged our way through the limitless hazards back to our hotel, where the owners, once again, cooled us down with towels and drinks, happy to see that we’d made it back alive – or that we’d bought the bike back in one piece.
