Hue

After waking up at 4am to catch our 6am flight, Woodson and I made it to Hue (pronounced "hway") this morning. Despite being extremely tired, we headed out for a long day of adventure. Hue is the former capital of Vietnam and has a number of temples, tombs and sites. In order to see them all, we rented a pair of mopeds for the day - which were named Ladyboy and Fat-bottomed Girl. While they were nice rides, they were nothing like The Green Monster and Hellboy, our mopeds in Chiang Mai.

Our route took us through the countryside on bumpy roads to see a few tombs of emperors. Then, we headed back into the city to see a pagoda and the old town and citadel. To finish out the day, we cruised ten miles to the east to have a beer on the beach of the South China Sea.
