Hue is a nice town to cycle around, enormous roads and tiddler side streets. First I needed some replacement gloves I am sure the originals were swept up unnoticed in the great laundry pile at Mr Phu’s and left in the drying shed. I also wanted a new bottle rack & some dry chain oil as the wet stuff is so sticky. Guess what, in walks the noted stalkers Randy and Anita who were seeking wet lube!
The outer citadel was an impressive structure dating back to about 1800 when Hue was the Vietnam capital until 1945.
Beer o’clock soon came around and I had the pleasure of meeting this kind and enterprising young lady at the Empire Beer bar. She’d volunteered to teach English and culture in Ha Giang Province. If you read this I’d love to hear how you got on and your future plans comment below please with your email.
We tucked in to dried micro-shrimps and freshly pickled fruits.
Miss Minty recommended a lunch venue on a small island. The charming lady there cooked two kinds of pork bbq sticks with amazing peanut sauces and salad. I had 2 courses.
Some tasty comestibles in Hue
Off to Lanh Co – El Passo land tomorrow.
