\"Ready<\/picture>
\nReady to roll!
\nThe rain was gone and I had a new iPhone. Maps loaded and the GPS tracker running. Time to hit the road up to Hue for a one night stop. Adios Su Shi and Mike – see you next time :-)<\/p>\n

\"The<\/picture>
\nThe Marble Mountains close to Da Nang
\nHow nice, you might say, but wait – check the next picture!<\/p>\n

\"What<\/picture>
\nWhat is really going on? Tourist overload. Still, I will stop next time to take a look at the caves – if they are not too expensive.<\/p>\n

\nEvery Saturday and Sunday night, the Dragon spits fire<\/p>\n

\"View<\/picture>

\"Nice<\/picture>
\nNice as long as you do not look down. They should clean that beach more often. Wherever you look there is trash – a lot of trash!<\/p>\n

\"Surprisingly<\/picture>
\nSurprisingly, this place does look still unspoiled<\/p>\n

\"Going<\/picture>
\nGoing up the H\u1ea3i V\u00e2n Pass – passing the clouds on the way. There are always clouds here so it is called ocean cloud pass as well.<\/p>\n

\"Offerings<\/picture>
\nOfferings on the seaside as well
\nOne can imagine where all the plastic and the rest will go soon. Down towards the sea. Since I own PEP I am happy to see they offer it here. But it would be much nicer if they use banana leaves and Bamboo cups.<\/p>\n

Vu Homestay close to Hue<\/h1>\n

This place was just opened, and I was lucky to get the discount rates for my bungalow. It had a TV, water heater, fan, table, and chairs. Hot shower and a bathroom as well. The owner and his family are super nice and try to help the best they can. From time to time they have a BBQ for all the guests in the evening. The place is really green and must look even better soon. All the green was just planted so it will be even better in the future. I paid only 5,60 US $ for a night with breakfast.<\/p>\n
