Our hotel in Hue is again 4 star, very nice and for the first time has carpet in the room rather than polished floors. We were shown to our room but it took a few more rooms to find one without a smell - carpet is obviously not good here in the humidity. Hue used to be the imperial capital of Vietnam, and the
main attractions are the Citadel (emperor's palace), pagodas and tombs. We took ourselves around the Citadel, which bares the scars (bullet holes) of the Vietnam War. To see the pagodas and tombs we hired a driver and guide for a half day. The pagoda in the photo was home to the monk Thich Quang Duc who burned himself to death in Saigon in 1963.
The car he used to drive himself in Saigon is now kept at the pagoda. More photos in the
web album.
