Continuing our brief tour of the Imperial Palace in Hue...
 |
| Smaug |
 |
| Wider views |
 |
| So was he doing the rice menu or the menu Francaise? |
 |
| Third Empire? |
 |
| Remnant of 1968? |
 |
| Another for my collection |
 |
| Wall and ceiling in one of the throne rooms |
 |
Dress-up apparently is really big in Vietnam; rental costumes; here, the grand-
parents pose with the grand-children; with permission, I am snapping away,
along with the professional photog, and the parents, all laughing away.... |
 |
| Road not taken, maybe to the ponds, maybe to the gardens |
 |
Street lanterns; we were tired, suffering from the heat, ready to go home and
watch the riot police practice |
 |
Cyclos massing for attack: pedaled conveniences, lining up for a tour bus of
customers |
 |
One cyclo driver had been stalking us, haggling over the price; finally we
succumbed for a duo ride back to the south bank and the Little Italy resto of
our choice; it was certainly one of the more memorable rides of the last 11 years |
 |
| Passing by the military history park (no thanks) |
 |
| Across the historic bridge |
 |
| And on, at length, to our destination; by pedal |
