We spent the morning in Hue, cycling to the mausoleums of famous Nguyen Emperors. Tony showed his appreciation of the moon house as he viewed the scene.
In the afternoon we boardedthe Reunification Express for an overnight ride to Hanoi. It was here that we said goodbye to our driver, Mr Tri and his assistant Tang (pronounced "tongue"), whom Tony had nicknamed "Bluetongue". We were also able to witness some railway maintenance Vietnam style in the process.

The itinerary said we would have 4 soft-bed berths for the journey, but the picture betrays a more crowded environment. Tony and I were put in charge of the "cold drinks" (kind of like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank).
