We have arrived safely and on time in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City).
Again, having fretted about luggage allowance we flew in a boeing 777-200
Now I have finsihed posting photos of our stay in Hue. We leave Hoi An in a couple of hours for Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City).
Note to self: must do better in keeping current with postings. But it's hard work with so many nice distractions.


The Emperor's Reading Room within the Citadel in Hue. This was in it's original state which wasn't too bad. The government is funding renovations on the site which are so badly needed. So many of the historic monuments and sites in this city suffered badly during many wars/invasions by the Chinese, Japanese, French and most recently Americans.


Our guide in Hue.

This was taken outside the Citadel. A complex of very old buildings modelled on the Forbideen City in Beijing.



This bar advertised as being open from "10 am 'til the last one passes out".

We all managed to WALK out despite there being a Happy Hour offer on all evening.
