Hue to Dong Ha

I got a bus from the main road near Bach Ma national park to Hue, one hour away. Hue is the sister city to Hoi An. It was spared some bombing during the war and has lots of character and old buildings. It's much bigger than Hoi An though and I didn't like it as much. I was only here basically to get an extension on my visa. It would expire in a few days but I wasn't sure when I would have a few days to try and get it somewhere else. I arrived late thursday and was hoping I wouldn't have to wait the weekend to get it taken care of. I went to a travel agent and they said it could be done in one day. I went back late friday afternoon and it was all finished. I had another month in Vietnam, even though I only needed 2 more weeks. With that business finished, I left Hue saturday morning to go to Dong Ha. I would base myself in Dong Ha for the night while I visited the Vinh Moc tunnels from the war. Dong Ha was only about one hour from Hue.
