We arrived into Hue with high expectations especially since Hoi An was so stunning. Hue has been a bit average, not particularly bad but not amazing either. The highlight of the city is definately the Citadel, the ancient city where a dynasty of Emperors ruled Vietnam. Much of the ancient city was badly damaged or completely destroyed during the TET and American offences during the American/Vietnam war. Inside the city, what buildings remained were pretty impressive and proved highly photogenic.
Besides this there was little else to see and do and so it happened, we found a good bar with decent food, cocktails and music and spent the day shooting pool against each other and staff members (thrashed by them everytime).
And so this see's us writing our blog whilst lounging around in our average hotel with a late checkout planned ready for our overnight sleeper train to Hanoi which is supposed to take 16 hours. From there we hop on a bus to Halong city where we then head to Cat Ba island and Halong Bay.
