Riding bikes in Hue.

We arrived at Hue train station on time. What means 10.34 am. And needed to find a hotel for one or two nights. As the taxi drivers were really annoying, we decided to take a walk to the DMZ hostel, which we picked out the lonely planet. It turned out, that this wasn't the best decision. It was really hot already, we weren't used to the temperature as in Hanoi it was only about 20 degree during the day, we had our big backpacks... And the "nice little walk" wasn't nice at all and took about an hour :-( But we finally got to the DMZ, just to find out that they had no room, so we went on walking to find another hotel *nerv*

But of course we found a nice cheap one just around the corner. And after taking a (unfortunately) cold shower we were ready to explore Hue. Inspired by a friend of Zeugwart who showed her around Amsterdam on bikes (2 weeks ago) we decided to rent bikes! And that was a really good decision! We had so much fun cruising on our bikes and exploring the whole city in no time! In the beginning we felt a bit unsecure with that traffic (video following!) but it didn't take long and we were driving at least as crazy as the vietnamese people do :-)

Kind of exhausted after 2 hours on the bikes we needed a rest and decided to have a beer at bar Why Not? And a short nap after that - so we were ready for - yes, delicious seafood dinner again :-) and the night out in Hue which started at Cathies and ended up at Brown Eyes, where we were the only to girls in the club! But at least, that got us some free drinks and a lot of nice chats...
