Hue Travelling on the Perfume River

Gail at the Pagoda

We spent the day visiting some of the pagodas, Temples and Royal Tombs by boat. The Perfume River slowly meanders along past all these old settlements so it was a great way to avoid the traffic and noise
This was the old Royal city and home to the Kings even after the French arrived. The visits were very interesting and the travel itself was a special part of the day.I will put details of our lunch in a separate blog to keep the photos together.Tyhe layout changes as we are using photos from our three cameras!

Robert at the Minh Mang Tomb

Rob again at the Minh Mang Tomb

At the Minh Mang Tomb. This was a most interesting place to visit and considered to be the most majestic. The Emporer had many wives and concubines. He planned the tomb that was built after his death. It is set out in a formal Chinese style.

The Thien Mu Pagoda or the Heavenly Lady Temple

The Tu Doc Tomb. Wonderful scenery and very extensive with gardens, lakes and pavilions.

The only way we could get to the tomb from the boat was by bike
