All the way to Hue

Hue, Vietnam, 27 June 2008
Overnight bus from Hue to Hanoi, 28 June 2008

Then it was on to Hue, a short (4 hour) bus journey up the road. This was nothing more than a stop-off point for us on our way to Hanoi. Many people visit the demilitarised Zone (DMZ) from here but it is a long way out (approx 100km) and we just weren't interested enough. We contented ourselves with a cyclo ride around town followed by a tour of the huge sprawling citadel. Our cyclo driver stopped at part of the old citidel wall that had been modified by the American's during the war & talked of the history with charming use of English expletives.

All very interesting but we were happy to catch the night bus on to Hanoi after spending one day in town.
