Route Map

The journey of the squeezy Sauce and Mustard bottles to the Orient.

Vietnam ::Hue::.

Sauce and Mustard arrived early in the morning from Ninh Binh on a sleeper bus (300,000ð), and were greeted by hotel scouts. Within 5 minutes the price for a private room has dropped dramatically from US$15 to US$6. However on arriving at the hotel, the lady in charge refused to honour the deal, after much bartering, Sauce and Mustard paid US$7 for the room and hired a flash as brand new scooter for 80,000ð.

Accommodation sorted, showered, feed, Sauce and Mustard were on their way out to explore the city of Hue.

They circumnavigated the old imperial palace and went tomb hunting. Driving through the city in some spots was a challenge, putting Sauces skills to the test.

  
  

Buying train tickets for the scenic train ride from Hue to Danang the next day was interesting. First when Mustard spoke English to buy the tickets, she was told that it was sold out. But when she approached a different counter and spoke Vietnamese, she was rewarded with two hard seat tickets to Danang.
