Reunification Express

We boarded the train at 7pm last night in Saigon. The first 11 hours of the ride were in the dark, so there was not so much to do except read, dose ourselves up on the local liqueur (Langon) and doze off as the train rumbled through the countryside.

We awoke to bright sunshine, with six hours left until Da Nang. Trolleys came round selling spicy chicken soup at 7am, which was just the ticket, strangely!  It was a real pleasure to watch the countryside glide past as the morning drifted by. I caught a quick snap of two of the attendants enjoying a natter and some slices of mango :)
