Hue
We arrive in Hue this morning at about 8.30 after a 12 hour bus journey on the sleeper bus. After a short walk to the hostel we had to sit and wait till about 11.30 to check in. It is a lot hotter here than in hanoi at 37 degrees during the day. After check in and a shower we headed for the local swimming pool!! it was nice and refreshing. On the way back to the hostel we found some lunch, and after the hostel headed to the citadel. It was similar to the forbidden city except there wasnt a lot left due to the war but it is in the process of refurbishment. Then we returned to the hostel for another shower, a rest and some dinner. We plan on an early night tonight as tomorrow we head to the DMZ (Demilitarised Zone), and our tour leaves at 6am!

Better get used to the heat! It can only get hotter still! I seem to remember there was a lot of fighting around Hue. Names that you mention jump out at me from the news bulletins of my youth. I’m peased that the Vientamese people can make something out of the tragedy of their recent past,
Seems like you’re being bitten by the travelling bug and I’m hooked on reading your interesting blog. The experience you’re having is bound to have a profound effect on you in some way seeing the different cultures, food, religion, poverty, etc.
