I would like to thank Linh Tran of Viet Linh Travel for arranging this trip. I would especially like to thank Po Loong Mo n?g for watching over me on on the Hamburger Hill range and Bui Ceng Huay for making such an effort driving me there. There are two aspects of a trip to Hamburger Hill from Hue: getting to Aluoi from Hue, and getting up to the top of Hamburger Hill from Aluoi. Each is important, and each has different aspects. The trip to Aluoi is interesting in itself. It is about 60 km from Hue. But this appears to be as the crow flies. The actual time from Hue is much more. The roads from Hue are paved, but very bumpy. So to make any time at all, you jump around a lot. text/html 2008-11-19T10:44:51+01:00 http://vietlinhtravel.com/page index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=171&Itemid=52 TREKKING TOURS SA PA TREKKING TRIP CODE: VLT.17.01 (2 days- 3 nights) 20:00 pick you up at your hotel, transfer to Ha Noi train station for the night train to Lao Cai.
