The City of Hue

Bridge:  The bus journey was a killer.  Almost literally.  12 hours in a sleeper bus crammed to the hilt with locals travelling to HCMC.  The driving was horrendous - the driver overtaking on blind rises and corners at ridiculous speeds and slamming on the horn and brakes every few seconds!

After trekking the streets in vain trying to find a guesthouse, we took a taxi to Moa Binh Guesthouse on Le Loi Street.  We had a long sleep and then took a "cyclo" (a man-powered bicycle with 2 chairs strapped the the front!) around the citadel - which again proved to just consist of an ancient outter wall with modern buildings and markets in the central streets.
