Hue, Vietnam


4 hours to the north in Hue (an ex capital city) the flooding was no better. Our boat trip was canceled - go figure. We took motorcycle guides around, which turned out a better method of seeing all the elaborate and massive tombs of former Kings, and citadels etc.

The rain was quite depressing, so we bloody well got on bikes and ponchos and ventured forth, riding through knee deep flood water to an isolated Japanese bridge. My chain derailed 5 times before I realised it was barely linked together anymore, but someone at our destination did not hesitate to repair it for a dollar.

The little brown monks are neat. They are like mushrooms. I like mushrooms.
