a couple of days in Hue was enough for us so it was decided to head for Hoi an Via the Hai van Pass for seafood and drunkenness
Hai van pass offers an impressive landscape of mountains clear blue skies and and deserted beaches and crosses a spur of Truong son mountain range 500m above sea level, making it the highest pass in vietnam
just before the tunnel and pass you come to the small town of Lang co, currently fairly undeveloped but i wonder for how much longer?
it has a long stretch of beach but the surfs quite often rough for swimming.
There are some good seafood places tucked along the coves specialising in locally harvested oysters
At the start of the pass we had to wait for the train to pass which also snakes alongside the mountain
Old mate took the opportunity to try to sell me something useless
we went over the pass on the way there and through the Tunnel coming back
The 25 km long mountain pass is popular with thrill seeking motorcyclists due to its winding roads, sudden curves and blind corners
The Road has been called a "ribbon" of perfection and was dubbed one of the best coastel roads in the world" by the UK program Top Gear
