Hello Everyone
Got to Hoi An today so thought I'd write down what I got up to in Hue!!
Hue is really nice, when we first got there we had a chill day and got all our clothes washed etc. We went for a drink in the evening bar was nice could have stayed longer and people watched lol.
The next day we had signed up for a tour of Hue taking us to the Citadel which is a big area where the king lived - its been heavily bombed by the USA but you can still see most of it, there is a tomb there where you worship ten of the kings of vietnam, our guide was really good and told us all about each king. Did you know they had hundreds of concubines (mistresses) and most of them had well over 100 children!!
We then went on to visit tombs of three of the kings they were so big and you never know the exact place the king is buried because they are terrified of grave robbers in Vietnam so criminals would bury the king and then be killed themselves so no body knows!
We also went to a sweet shop and brought some sweets made from sesasme seeds (sending some home) and a little hat and insense making village. We got a dragon boat down the perfume river for the journey home - we were really close to the water lol!
be back soon with Hoi An updates! x
