All board! We’re heading north in Vietnam to Hoi An and to get there we decided to trade what would be a 1.5 hour flight for a 17 hour overnight train!
We booked a first class 2x cabin on Vietnam Railways and let’s just say, it was an experience.

This overnight train trip looks funny and interesting, haha. I always love to travel by train, especially for those which you can stay one or two nights in. Unlike those people who hate the train being slow, shaking and noisy, I just love this feeling on the other way. Becaue the "Shaking bed" makes me feel that I am still in my mom's hands, I can really sleep well no matter how loud or uncomfortable the train is.

I served at a navy base in Da Nang in 1970-71. Things look quite different there now! 😂Glad you had fun on the train. Vietnam is, as you know, very humid and tropical, so bugs will be common. I also saw a huge cockroach when I was stationed in Orlando, Flordia, in the navy in 1968. That critter was about 4 inches long and was skittering up a support post at an outdoor laundromat. I doubt Orlando has outdoor laundromats now. That was pre-Disney, when it was mostly a retirement community full of old people (like I am now) and their tons of dirty laundry (in more ways than one, probably!). Anyway, thanks for taking us on that ride. Fun to watch as always.

Being a daughter of a 30-years-experiece train staff, I always like to travel by train despite it is slow, noisy and shaking. And I'm sorry to say you missed the best part which is a route from Danang to Hue where there is Hai Van Pass, the scenery is so so beautiful ( the last time I see Hai Van Pass was about 20 years ago when I travel from Hanoi to HCMC with my mom, and the memory of seeing it still remain in my mind). Last month I traveled from Hue to Danang by car so we went a tunnel ( Tunnel through Hai Van Pass) and there was nothing. If you have a chance please consider travel by train to see the view of Hai Van Pass ( or you can rent a motor bike from Danang to Hue, you'll get to see the pass too)

What gorgeous scenery. We took 1 overnight train ride between Rome & Paris, and sprung for a sleeper car. Unfortunately, we went through the Alps overnight and missed out on the incredible scenery. Fortunately, we didn't sleep a wink and we saw parts of the Alps by moonlight. I believe there were two reasons why I didn't sleep. Our beds were east/west (perpendicular to tracks), and it would have been more restful to be north/south (over tracks). Also, there were a lot of altitude changes and tunnels, which caused our ears to pop. Looking forward to next week's adventure.
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад
Oh wow! That sounds like an amazing ride and seeing the Alps by moonlight sounds beautiful! I'm interested to try to sleep on a train with north/south beds some time. These were east/west. Our ride was very flat, but I can see how altitude and tunnels would make it a challenge Thanks, Glenda!

It looks fantastic! I've only been on one train, the narrow gauge in Durango, and it went on for entirely too long. 17 hours would drive me nuts! But it's better than a plane, and probably much simpler than renting a car and driving across the country (though if you had no time restrictions that would be amazing). I don't know that I'll ever go out to SE Asia, though I've been told to visit the Philippines since that's where some of my family is from. I'm enjoying vicariously traveling through you though!
@AdventuresofAplusK

The Durango Train was such a train ride, but maybe not for 17 hours! We wanted to do it for the experience and it was worth it! Flying is definitely faster and cheap It's been awesome here! The Philippines are on our list for a future trip. Heard lots of good things about it

It is common that you experience the bugs in Vietnam, I don't like them myself when I am home visiting family. Big part of Vietnam still is a third world country, but it is definitely much better since I left home in the late 70s....U2 are pretty cool travelers, take it all in and enjoy all the experiences.....hope the google translate will help.....looking forward to see your next moves!

My thought as I saw the bloopers..."Whelp, Mr. Roach and his family will now feast for the next year on that!" Hahaha!

I spent a very interesting year in Viet Nam 52 years ago wearing jungle fatigues. The cities have really changed. The biggest buildings back then were the old French ones. The railroad generally wasn't running then because the VC and NVA would blow up bridges. The country side looks much the same. One good memory is bahn mi sandwiches in Hoi An from street vendors. The old part of Hoi An is very cool. There is an excellent museum in Da Nang of Cham (Champa) culture. If you can see it do so. IIRC it is between the downtown area and the air port and a block or two west of the river. The people back then were very friendly (except for the ones trying to kill me). The Da Nang area is lovely. There are some really pretty areas in the highlands. I had a very different experience in Viet Nam than a lot of GIs. The first half or my tour I was out in the bush as an Infantry Platoon Leader playing hide and seek with people who were trying to kill me and vice versa. The 2d half of my tour I was a Civil Affairs Officer in the Da Nang area which meant I was working with Vietnamese civilians doing disaster relief and things like taking medical teams out to remote hamlets. The 2d half was much more rewarding.

They must offer great service and hospitality with the 2 beds option cause you paid 189$ OMGGGG (Vietnamese rarely use this option). The lunch missing for miscommunication is unacceptable! However, things sorted out. Hopefully you had some weird and fun experience. Enjoy your stay and truly appreciated for visiting VN! Have fun and stay safe!

Congrats on making y’all’s Asian trip come true. Experiencing other cultures is very exciting especially in Asia. I’ve been to the Philippines and experiencing their big cities and extremely rural country sides was amazing. I’m truly looking forward towards your other Asian countries. Stay safe stay healthy

Wow that train needs some serious cleaning. But it still looked like a fun experience! Riding a sleeper train is on my bucketlist, but a higher quality, cleaner one in Japan I hope lol. I thought during the roach segment y'all found a bedbug! My biggest fear when traveling

Oh no, if you see one cockroach there's definitely a full on colony somewhere nearby 😬. I would've had to sleep with lights on, doesn't keep them all at bay but cuts down the amount that may come out usually 😬 ahhh I hate it 😂. Ya'll are brave to have that coffee after seeing bugs, but to be honest I get it I have to have coffee so I probably would've got some too! That meat cabbage and rice looks so good, I'm so glad you guys didn't miss out after all of that. I'm assuming Grab is like Uber/Lyft. Thank you guys for another great video!! Sending much love to you guys!

haha we did see a few more, but nothing too bad! The colony stayed hidden away thankfully! Yes Grab is an Uber/Lyft equivalent Thank you and thanks for watching! ❤

Hi A+K, This is Xia and Lou, back in Fresno, CA. It was a one in a trillion chance that we met you in Ninh Binh, at the granduer boat tour, on the other side of the planet! My video caught the scene of my wife Lou excitedly yelling her greetings to you at the shore! My sister in law didn't understand Lou's excitement, and thought Lou had seen a king or something. We were excitedly suprised to see you, greet you, hugs, take pictures and videos together. We also have a parting video of both of you riding your boat along ours. We will always cherrish Ninh Binh's beauty, serenity, grandeur, and your friendship souvenir...

17 Hour Train Ride YUK. Thought there was a 12 hour direct bus other RU-vidrs have taken. Congrats on getting your train tickets. Smelling the pillow sheets. It’s a train, you should expect bugs. Guess you did not check prices in advance [ like most ] Welcome to Hoi An home of the Outstanding Lantern Festival. Absolutely Loved Every Minute

The train is always a good idea....even when it isn't. LOL It goes places you probably never would have...and you don't have to drive. Nice save at the end Kathryn! How freaky was the "currency amounts" there in Vietnam? 300,000!!! And you find out it's $13. LOL So this roommate you guys had on the train....was it a Texas sized one? Haha.
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад
The views from the train made up for any unwelcome friends and lack of sleep! We're still getting used to large numbers for such small amounts! The roommate was actually a Rhode Island size, very small, but any size is too big!

Currently in Vietnam, people mainly use personal cars or coach bus when traveling long distances. Trains are no longer a popular means of transportation, but because of safety, many people still choose them
