Trains and Typhoons

Not a good combination, as we discovered. Our 14 hour overnight journey from Ha Noi to Hue became a 40 hour ordeal as our train was stranded for over 24 hours due to the flooding. When we finally got going we passed scenes of devastation -houses flooded, roofs blown off, trees flattened against hillsides. We are lucky that we could pass through and continue our holiday - for the locals the clearing up has just begun.
