So we went to Hue. We got in in the afternoon and rented bikes for the rest of the day. We went to the city Citadel. It was another world heritage site but this one wasn't really that impressive. It was were the Emperor loved for a while. Hue was chosen as the location in an effort to unite north and south Of Vietnam. There isn't much left of the citadel. There were 144 buildings there and only about 20 buildings left. It was a result of the indo china war and the American war. The city was crazy to bike around in. Traffic laws are kind of a funny thing here. People don't really follow them.
Today I met up with a friend, earl from Australia and we jumped on a local bus and headed out to the national park. The weather was pretty bad. It rained the whole time. We were soaked from
Head to toe. We hiked for a really long time. About 13 km up and 16 back into town. The 13 up were pretty grueling. It was uphill the entire way. We stopped at a place where it looked like thy did zip line tours. We thought it would be fun to climb across it. It was cool to talk to him about travel plans, growing up and just about everything. We did have a long hike.
We made it up and back down and caught a bus back into town. It was so nice to get back in and shower and warm up. It was a really fun time. We grabbed dinner with Warl and a couple other guys. One from Holland and one from Germany.
