Knight Bus!

We took a sleeper bus from Hanoi to Hue. It made us giggle with the similarities to the Knight Bus in Harry Potter books. It had three rows of 'bunks' about a foot and a half wide, and sized longways for a Vietnamese person. Here are some pictures:



Don had a bottom bunk but had the privlege of having an old man's elbow on his lap (the locals tend to cram into the bus in the aisles, presumably for a lower price):



Kate had an upper middle bunk:



It was an interesting ride, definitely not as comfy as a sleeper train, but much better than an overnight regular bus. After a half day checking out the Citadel in Hue, we continued on to Hoi An. Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage site, has beautiful beaches, and more tailors! Stay tuned...
