Do You Know the Way to Hue?

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 | By graynomadsusa | Views [58]

IT’S A LONG WAY FROM SYDNEY TO HUE—nine hours and 4300 miles through four time zones to Saigon another 600 miles to the Imperial City. Fewer than half of the A330’s seats were occupied on the Sydney-Saigon leg so we each had an entire ... Read more >

Thien Mu Pagoda in the Rain

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 | By graynomadsusa | Views [46]

DESPITE THE PERSISTENT DRIZZLE we walked the three miles along the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda, part of  the Complex of Hue Monuments. The term “pagoda” is confusing, as is much about this entire UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thien ... Read more >

Inside the Imperial City of Hué

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 | By graynomadsusa | Views [42]

A Tale of Two Vietnams

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 | By graynomadsusa | Views [30]

WE SPENT THE NIGHT IN DONG HOI after traveling 170 kilometers from Hue. Booking a private car rather than taking a bus assured a timely arrival and gave us a chance to stop and stretch our legs along the way.          ... Read more >

Mang Den Nature Reserve

Sat, 23 Mar 2024 | By graynomadsusa | Views [7]

GREEN HOTEL IN MANG DEN SEEMED LIKE a palace compared to Ngoc Linh. Both Connie and I played catch-up after two nights sans wifi—she was adding to eBird while I tried to update the journal. I won’t be able to accurately account for all the ... Read more >
