Hue - the ancient capital and the Perfume River

We are now in Hue, which is the ancient capital of Vietnam, and near the old border between North and South Vietnam. Yesterday we wandered around the old town, the old citadel ruins, which were the seat of past Vietnamese emperors, whilst today we chartered a dragon boat and cruised down the Perfume River to visit a Pagoda and after transferring to motorbike taxis, two of the Royal Tombs which are located down the river to the south of Hue. Whilst Hue and its surrounds are quite touristy, its an easy place to like - much quieter and more friendly than Hanoi.
