Rain rain go away

Hué.

Arrival: 13 November

Raining, but not flooding.

 Wandered around the old Citedal and kept relatively dry thanks to my oversized green rain jacket courtesy of Brett's obsession with 1-day.com. Had to avoid the piles of construction rubbish which could have well been there since last Century.

Local cuisine made up for it. But Brett was pretty excited to discover Troy on HBO. Moto blister getting further irritated. Feilding comments from locals and other tourists on my moto inexperience.

Not a highlight.

Departure: 14 November

Hoi An.

Raining, and flooding. But unlike Hué, there was character. Despite the damp clothes, damp room and damp spirits at first, we enjoyed the city even with the flooding. We weren't the only tourists braving the weather (spot the poncho)! We wandered around the Old City and waded through the markets, previously next to the river, now in it.

We looked in the shops but didn't buy much (a replacement watch was in order... here's hoping it survives longer than the last one) - my only restraint has come from the fact that I have to carry what I buy... I miss deep draws I can pile new clothes in.

I discovered that jandels are the best wet weather item and that sometimes one oversized green rain jacket just doesn't cut it - you need a bright orange poncho and an oversized green rain jacket.

And even when you are wearing a bright orange poncho and an oversized green rain jacket someone will still try and sell you an umbrella.

Departure: 15 November

Nha Trang.

Arrival: 16 November

Another night bus - this one much smellier - bought us to the usually sunny beachside resort of Nha Trang. Also raining.

Not good for sunbathing.

Not good for island hopping.

Not good for snorkelling.

Not good for much, but eating and drinking.

Departure: 18 November
