We arrived off the bumpy bus, had an hours sleep and then wandered round the Citadel and the Imperial city. The weather in Hue is the opposite to Hanoi-it is so hot and sunny and by the end of the morning we were baking and ready to collapse. We got a cyclo back to our hotel and had some lunch. Then we took a motorbike (with helmet!) ride to the beach, where we sat for the afternoon and relaxed. The sea was lovely and warm and the beach was almost deserted! On the way back, the driver took us through little villages and rice paddies and to see a beautiful japanese bridge before dropping us back in the centre. We had dinner and ice cream by the river before turning in for an early night. Hue is completely different to Hanoi- a lot less busy, a lot more relaxed and very beautiful.

The next day we took a dragon boat ride along the perfume river which took us to Thien Mu Pagoda, where there was some sort of festival going on. Then the boat took us to a conical hat and incense making village before going to the Tu Duc tomb. Then we got a motorbike back to Hue.
