Strangers on a Plane: Day 15
I don’t need to check out until 12 pm, and the bus is coming at 11.45 am. I awake around 9 am, grab breakfast and then pack my bag. I’ve got a little time still so I head out into the streets around Chinatown to take what I’m calling B-roll photos – better or newer…

I’m taking the SE1 Reunification Express service to Da Nang and then travelling on to the airport to leave for Singapore. The hotel staff booked my ticket for me yesterday. It cost me 80,000 dong in total (about £3.50),…
