We took our bikes and did a tour around Hue to see some Pagodas with the sun shining on our faces again. Yup, today the sun was back so we could leave the jackets home. It even got a bit hot at some times ;-) So while pedalling through some back roads around Hue country side we got to see an old Elephant/Tiger arena, some important guys tombs ( & the tombs of there wifes), farmland & animals. We stopped to pet some local 'street'cows that at a certain moment licked Line in the armpit. So it seems cows have a really rough & reeeeeeaaaally wet tongue :-)



After that we strolled the main Hue market where everybody tries to sell you...well anything actually. The most popular call-outs are probably "You, You, hey You!" or "LookieLookie, you buy!" After 20min of this you get the impression that their understanding of our welth is that we just want to buy everything & anything all the time (totally regardless wether you need something or not, you can buy, so you buy...right?) ;-) But we don't need anything, plus we can't drag anything on our bikes so we just got some drinks, a snack, some more viet coffee & book reading.
