Day 7 - April 23

Hanoi - Hue

We took a noon flight to Hue. Hue is recognized by UNESCO as "World Heritage Site". From 1802 - 1945 under the Emperor's of Nguyen Dynasty, Hue was Vietnam's political capital. We visited the Splendid Royal Capital - Imperial Palace which is surrounded by high walls and deep moats. While cruising on the Perfume River we enjoyed traditional Hue music and artistic food platters created to look like animals-- roosters, dragon, hens.

The Hotel Saigon Morin greeted us with a large banner. We dined at Tink-Gia-Vien. The female chef has prepared dinners for the King of Bao Dai.
