Instead of taking the direct coast road to DaNang/Hoi An we can follow the beautiful mountain roads through the central highlands. 

The Ho Chi Minh Highway is a newly paved, nearly deserted road winding thru beautiful green hills. 

We can experience a delicious lunch with amazing mountain views right near the Laos border before continuing through the countryside stopping at some Ca Tu ethnic minority villages in the afternoon and arrive at your destination in the early evening
