Hue today....gone tomorrow...

Hue today! pronounced whey!

Rainy, but warm. Cycled over 45 km to pagodas and temples. Wonderful sights and sounds and smells.We went along perfumed river which comes from China and called perfumed due to cinnamon fields it comes through...and finished where the tigers annd elephants used to fight,like in a bullring.

We got here by overnight train amongst some very friendly mice!!!!! Good journey but slow.

100km of UP tomorrow! Hope for no rain and strong legs.

Heading out for food in traditional Hue eating place....more after....
