The next day we decided to rent some bicycles. We hadn't managed to get ourselves run over walking so we though we would see how we do on bikes.
We got state-of-the-art one-speed bikes and headed out to see what we could see in Hue.
The old city has a wall all around it and then a second wall that surrounds the Citadel. Above is one of the gates into the inner city. The streets throughout the walled portion of the city are really interesting and lots of fun to wander up and down.
All that cycling can be thirsty work!!
There was water all around the wall and these workers were in boats but almost buried in the vegetation.
At one point in time, we all made it across the train tracks except for Dean. He had to wait on the other side until a train went through, which took quite some time. Once the train did go through and the barricade was lifted, we all were quite happy to wait until the throng of traffic went by us before heading back out on the road.
Campbell seemed to spend quite a bit of time finding a place to wait for us. Nothing like plunking your butt on a spare cannon.
We cycled out of the city about 5 kms. to get to this pagoda. We found a parking lot for our bikes and wandered around for quite awhile.
Campbell and Dean enter the main section of the pagoda.
Once we returned our bikes, we needed a bite to eat. Kelly and Dean look rather happy with their end-of-biking drinks.
Kelly was thrilled to be able to leave her mark on the wall of the restaurant, as so many others had before her.
Even Dean had to get into the act.
