| At the forbidden Palace. |
The weather sadly won't be as good as it has been for the last 10 days of the holiday, and looks as though there's going to be rain in the coming few days. Despite the bleak looking weather we went to the main tourist attraction in the city of Hue, the forbidden palace and ancient city. As impressive as the Palace was, it is hard to get a real sense of its grandeur and royalty due to its dilapidated and poor condition. If you go to Hue it is a must see, but expect to see overgrown gardens, broken tiles, stairs and ornaments.
Once we had left the Palace we walked around the ancient city, which to be honest looks like any other part of Hue. We went through some markets and saw a group of female vendors all screaming at each other. This was the first public argument I have seen in Asia as anger is a taboo over here.
Back at the hotel which had been previously empty, a wedding party had arrived. After dinner at the hotel we went back to the rooms, watched a film and then hit the sack.
