Hải Vân Pass

 

Insipired by Top Gear we decided the best use of our last day was to motorcycle from Hoi An to Hue along the Hai Van Pass - one of the most beautiful roads in the world. I was petrified, convinced I was going to fall off and hurt myself. We got on the bikes and rode north through Da Nang to Marble Mountain. We went up and saw the most amazing sculptures from 1,000 years ago and hiked to the highest vantage point (not fun in 38 degrees and 80% humidity!). 

We then set off around the Hai Van Pass which was an hour of amazing scenery and stops. It was VERY hot and time for a cool off at the waterfall which was amazing. Another half an hour later and we were at lunch, fresh lobster on the beach for only $50! Finally we drove through a tiny fishing town and as the clouds rolled in arrived at Hue airport. 

Time to fly, stay a night in Ho Chi Minh and fly home to Australia now....
