Middle level on a hard sleeper
Originally uploaded by bastchild.
Not bad digs on the express train (E2) to Hanoi from Hue. It was about $21 for a middle level "hard sleeper" bunk (six to a cabin, but there were only four of us in there). The bunk actually had a sleeping mat and pad a couple inches thick, which was perfect. They provided linen, water, and a meal. The meal, as expected, wasn't great: some rice, soup, vegetables, and nasty fish. The toilets were metal squatters which was fine if you can imagine the messing aim on a train. They had soap at the sinks too. The train left (late) at 1810 and arrived at 0540 to a muggy early morning Hanoi. The attendent woke me up when I arrived.
