After an unpleasant overnight train we arrived at the historical city of Hue. The city was quite attractive and enjoys a pleasant position along the perfume river. The main purpose of this visit was to see the imperial citadel which was built in the 19th century during the Ngyen dynasty. As we were tired we decided to take a sort of back to front manual tuk tuk from our hotel to the citadel. The vehicle resembles a giant push chair with a bicycle stuck to the back of it. Despite the fact that the citadel was badly damaged from the recent war with America it was a worthwhile stop on route to our next destination.
