The Night Bus

Heading south tonight via bus for the DMZ area and a town called Dong Ha. For some reason, they only have transport at night so we leave at 8:30 PM and get in tomorrow morning around 6AM, or so they claim. Saves us a night's lodging costs at least. We wanted to take a train, but they are crazy booked with the Tet holiday upcoming. Spent the day at Cuc Phong National Park. It was really nice because there were no tourists whatsoever. We took quite a long time exploring a cave with a flashlight, but I had to convince Jenn that no bats would harm her first. It was quite a task. Afterwards we went to the park's endangered primate rescue center. It was nice to see a conservation effort of some sort since it seems as if the Vietnamese will kill and eat anything that moves. There were about 20 different species of primates including one kind that has only 60 known living left on the planet. That's a shitty sentence. We'll post when we arrive and hopefully be able to load some pics.
