Hoi An

We have to run away from this smart little town...to many temptations!
Good food, good staff to buy (clothes, real leather shoes hand made as you wish and "sur mesure"!!!, bags), delicious and cheap beer. And so smart little wooden houses colonial style from the 18e century - a mixed of Chinese, Japanese and Vietnam tradition.
Heaven or paradise?

Hue

South Vietnam...very different...
Hue is a modern city but breathing culture, art and history.
A full day visiting by boat and moto-taxi temples, pagodes and emperors' graves in a wonderful nature.
Water, River, ponds, lake, gardens and a lot of quietness around the holy places.
The citadel is also an amazing place, the ancient residence of the Nguyen dynasty. But the war destroyed the majority part of the buildings and today there is a few remaining and beautiful gardens.
