And they're off..... Who's up for a little trip....

Last stop before the capital

VIETNAM | Monday, 13 July 2009 | Views [407]

And we're back on the road heading further Nth... Our 5 hour bus ride from Hoi An to Hue is one of the most beautiful as we drive along a great ocean road and weave up a beautiful mountain pass.. The views were spectacular..

We arrived in Hue and didn't get up to much for the rest of the day. Feeling a little guilty the next morning we were out and about early with a visit to the imperial city...

During Vietnam's history Hue was once the capital and in the middle of the city stands the magnificent Citadel – where the throne of the Emperor still remains today.

It was a beautiful imperial city however in dyer need of restoration... We were amazed to find a few elephants walking within the walls...

We killed the afternoon playing pool in a little restaurant around the corner from our hotel in anticipation for our last overnight train to the capital Hanoi (12 hour journey Nth!!)
