Hue- A medival town

Hue is a pretty town near Hoi An. We dropped out bags at our hotel which was probably one of the best hotels we stayed at. It had welcome fruit and drinks and a swimming pool and all you can eat breakfast. We walked about the little town past lovely little shops and walked along the river through a park to the train station.

At the train station we bought tickets to Hoi An for the next day and then went to a temple.

It was on the outskirts of the main town and was quite peaceful.

Then we had something to eat and went to the swimming pool as it was getting late and we were really hot. The swimming pool was lovely and after a while we had to share it with a group of english backpackers so we left to get something to eat. The little streets round about were quite european and very touristy but had really good food. They also had clothes shops where they would make you clothes. After taking ages looking at the clothes we went to bed.

The next day we went to the citadel.This was amazing as it was a city within a city full of ancient ruins and old temples. The gardens were also very peaceful and full of vietnamese with their trademark hats working by hand in the gardens.

Then after we had another walk around the city and went to the train station to catch our train to Hoi An. The train was interesting as there were people watching a comedy program on the TV screens in vietnamese and sleeping in the corridors etc but the trains were reliable and quite comfy.

I liked Hue as it was full of ancient ruins and temples which were really amazing. I would recommend it as a side trip from Hoi An.
