1st May 2010
Today was our last day in Hue before our five day motorbike tour into the mountains tomorrow, so we decided to take it easy, especially because the humidity was very high.
We started the day by walking around the Citadel, but due to the high humidity this was a very hot undertaking. We passed an interestingly named clothes shop before heading back towards the flag tower where we found a display of Reunification hardware which we hadn’t seen the other day. The Imperial Enclosure which we had visited two days ago was heaving with Vietnamese and there were people everywhere so we soon headed back to the hotel for some peace and quiet and lovely air conditioning.
After a spot of lunch we headed out to the five star Imperial Hotel. Here you can pay a charge of $5 to use their pool on the third floor of the hotel. In today’s humidity it was a welcome relief and as a bonus we had the place to ourselves. We spent the afternoon just reading and using the pool. A wonderfully relaxing way to spent a hot day in the city of Hue.
