20km of riding a motorbike without knowing the way wasn’t the hardest part of our trip. What bothered me after the trip and ingrained it into my mind was a child’s begging, and that I refused her.
Earlier that morning, we were so sure that the tombs of the Emperors couldn’t be anywhere out of Hue City. We were completely wrong. After about 20 minutes heated both by our excitement and the sunshine, we started to turn into a road embraced by mountains. The road got steeper and steeper; we could see the lakes surrounded by rice paddies sinking lower and lower on either side of the road. To make it more interesting, there weren’t a single vehicle. No one. There we were, two girls on a motorbike, and absolutely did not know the way.
“Where the hell are we? Any chance we got lost?” – Hien asked me.
“It would be awesome getting lost somewhere this beautiful anyway!” – I wasn’t just trying to console my companion. The mesmerizing painting of mountain and the sky in front of us really calmed me down. So we kept on going, following our intuition. Intuition had never helped me win any lottery before, but this time it led me straight to destination: Khai Dinh tomb.
