The Citadel

Today we visited the ancient Citadel in Hue. This is a huge square fortress, formerly used as the stronghold for the vietnamese emperors. There is a huge moat and then another internal moat to the imperial area designed for the royals. Inside here is a maze of paths and gateways leading into different temples and gardens. We walked around for as long as we could but today was even hotter than usual.
We spent the afternoon in a bar and booked a flight back south instead of the 35 hour train we planned to take as they are the same price.

  1. Fantastic pictures. Looks amazing. So glad you are taking a 2 hour flight rather than the 35 hr train journey. Hope the journey to Hanoi goes quickly! Love you both xxx
