19-01-2010 HOI AN - HUE; Motorbiking in the rain

After some discussions and miscommunication at the tailorshop, it was time for pharmacy. Yeah, 4 different sorts of medicine, 3 times a day. We left to Da Lang. Lot's of beaches but stormy weather. The rainsuits are nescesarry today. We received a gift from our last hotel, 24 cans of Tiger-beer! But today is not my lucky day, after the the argueing at the tailorshop, the banks in Vietnam are pissing me off. Relax, relax...but all the banks tell me that I can't get money anymore with my creditcard. We tried so many banks today, we lost a lot of time. Stopped at the pagoda and buddha caves of Ngu Hanh Son, a big rockformations in Da Nang. Slippery steps and rockclimbing inside. We headed on with a dangerous but fantastic motortrip; awesome views from the mountains and adrenaline rushing through my vains after all the stunts on the slippery mountainroads. Chaos evrywhere, holes in the road, slipping, trucks and busses on the wrong side, nobody's watching...no wonder why there are so many monuments next to the road.

After some tea we arrived in Hue in the evening. Took a warm bath...well just 15 litres of water, then the hot water stops :-) The visit to the shoping mall was like entering Guantanamo Bay....so many security checks, you had to prove that everything in you bag was yours. Well, I just walked out of the shopping mall. The roadtrtip was beautiful today, the other experiences were shit :-) But at least, it was not a boring day.
