Day 6 - Hue - Vietnam

After arriving by train to Hue, I went to the post office and mailed a package back to Canada. It was funny hearing something that costed one million and something dong. I feel very rich. We went out for a Royal group dinner and we all dressed up in court robes. It was fun. Day 6 began with a nice, wet cruise on a "so call" dragon boat ride down the Perfume River.

We had two stops on this cruise, the first was to see a Buddist Pagoda where the monks live and then to the Emperors' tombs.

In the afternoon I walked across the bridge to the other side of the river and looked around at the outdoor market and went to the newly built 2 storey shopping mall. Did not buy anything.
