Moving on to Hue
From Hoi An to Hue we took a bus and we stopped at the Cham Museum and the inapropriately named China beach (by the Americans) in Da Nang. Apart from the Cham Museum there's nothing much to see in Da Nang, the third biggest city in Vietnam after Saigon and Hanoi. It's the main hub for central Vietnam and for tourists on route to Hoi An.
Hue is the Nguyen Dynasty's imperial capital. The main attractions are The Citadel - modelled after China's forbidden city, the tomb of the Nguyen Lords, and Thien Mu Pagoda. We took a private boat cruise along the Perfume River to vist the pagoda and Tu Duc tomb and caught a moto back to the hotel. Tonight we'll be having a "royal" dinner where everyone will dress up as old Vietnam's imperial courtiers. This will be interesting :)
On another note, tonight is Australia's second round match against Italy. I'm really exited about this match and really bummed to leave my Australia's paraphernalia back in Singapore, how fun it will be to dress up in full Aussie gears to watch the match in the middle of Vietnam!
