Hue

March 29 - 30

One day in Hue was plenty of time to explore this little town.

Hue is most famous for its citadel - the imperial city, a walled fortess in the centre of town. 

It was occupied by the emperors of the Ngyugen Dynasty from 1802 until the mid 1900s. Large parts of the structure were destroyed by termites, war and a cyclone. However, key buildings have been restored.

After roaming the citadel we checked out the markets and sampled local food - bun thit nuong twice in one day.. My new favourite dish!! We also had a very odd drink/dessert thing. I don't even know what it was!

To kill some time before our bus the next day, I went for a run..aaaand we ate more food (surprise!) I had bun bo hue - the local specialty rice noodle soup.
