A visit to the Citadel in town - a UNESCO world heritage site.
We felt like zombies walking around this place and even had a 20 minute power nap on one of the benches. Still blaming it on the malaria pills :(
Heavily bombed by the Americans during the war, the Vietnamese are now working hard to restore this important historical site.
On the second day, we rented a scooter and drove out of town to see the kings tombs. They definitely have that 'wow' effect.
All this for one dude? Shawn's already designing his...
Tomb of King Khai Dinh on the hilltop. Very impressive!
Tomb of Minh Mang.
Also housed his wife's and concubines after he died.
Shawn's comment: "great idea, keep 'em close." Me: *eye's rolling*
Built surrounded by ponds to resemble a man in the relaxed, laying pose.
Guess you have to be a King to get one of these huh.
One pillar pagoda.
Perfume river in Hue.
Train from Hue to Denang to catch the hour local "scam" bus to Hoian. (See part one)
Beautiful views as the train clipped the Vietnam coastline and passes through mountain tunnels.
