Shameless Birthday Plug - Hue

Hue was the last stop before Hanoi on our Vietnam trip and also the town in which I celebrated my quarter century b'day.

Hue was the capital of the Vietnamese royal family in the 19th Century and as such has a royal citadel within another citadel in the town.

Our 2 days spent in Hue involved lots of walking in and out of the citadel in blistering heat, no change from the norm here.... The b'day meal was a lovely French restaurant where we both indulged in steak and Vietnamese red wine... very tasty..

Next stop Hanoi and a nasty overnight bus ride.
