I woke up today and was able to chat with some of the other guests at breakfast.
From there, one last ride into town to get some gifts that I had seen, I won't say what they are though.
Then I boarded my transit. I had arranged the transit through my hotel in Hue. I had an English speaking driver. We first stopped at the Marble Village in Da Nang, which effectively was just a place that sells marble. Then onto Marble Mountain. I spent about 30-45 minutes walking around the mountain and seeing the various religious sites.
Then it was off to the Hai Van Pass, at the top of which was an old US bunker and some type of Chinese fortification or gate from long ago. It used to be that the only way to get between the two cities was to take the pass, which is quite winding. However, recently a tunnel opened that cuts the time down significantly and actually makes the whole road a lot safer.
From there it was onto Lang Co beach where I ate the baguettes the hotel in Hoi An had sent with me. Then it was on to Hue, with an arrival around 230.
I checked in and chilled and then headed out to a local restaurant called Risotto for dinner which was practically next door to my hotel.
