Da Nang, out the window of our bus. Those mountains in the distance? We'll get there soon enough.

Out the bus window, along Highway 1.

And up we go!

Into the Troung Son Mountains.

Up up up up up.

And still further up.

Hai Van Pass, looking down from the bus window.

The rest stop at the pass' summit. Bathrooms, souveniers and the most annoyingly persistant postcard sellers in the world.

Soldiers' memorial at the top of the pass.

Old (American?) fortification overlooking the rest area.

A somewhat optimistic message from the Ministry of Tourism.

Sunset over the mountains.

A hell of a trip to make on a moped.

Back into the bus...and down.

...down down down.

Heading down toward Hue.

Heading down toward Hue.

Heading down toward Hue.

Heading down toward Hue.

Heading down toward Hue.
