The city of Hue - Blogabond

We booked our open bus tickets to travel through Vietnam on the East coast and stopped next at Hue. Getting hold of a Belgian beer. Mission impossible in Vietnam? Not really! We quickly located the Belgian Bar, the B4 Bar and enjoyed a couple of cheeky G&T's with the lovely barman and was given good advice to eat at the Riverside restaurant which served up a fantastic banana-flower salad and great BBQ skewers.

The old citadel of Hue gives a glimpse of the country's reagl history and is a beatiful ruined moat city.

We reached the citadel after crossing the river to the other half of Hue, and it is was well worth the walk to find the gate through the walled city which we actually walked past the first time round! Whoops!

Next was the DMZ tour where north meets south Vietnam. We spent the day on the motorbikes of our tourguides who were from our guesthouse. This really was a great way to see this part of Vietnam. We saw the effecs and the damage that still remains from the Vietnamese war.

The images are only a small insight, but nonetheless stil provides a huge understanding of somethig you only normally read about in books or watch in movies.
