More photos of Hue

Hue, Vietnam

Huế was the national capital until 1945, when Emperor Bảo Đại abdicated and a communist government was established in Hà Nội (Hanoi). Huế is well known for its historic monuments, which have earned it a place in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. The city is pronounced H'way so you can imagine the away jokes were flying! We saw the Citadel, the Royal Tombs, the One Pillar Pagoda, and then had a great dinner at La Residence. A very cultural city!

Nice to be back in Saigon

We spent a few days just chilling out and touring around Saigon. It has been great fun catching up with Simon, Lindsay and Ty and we had a great party on New Years Eve - the fireworks seemed to go on for ever. Not sure if you can see it, but there is a young boy with his head out of the sunroof of a Porsche. It's all about safety!
