Day 8: Hue

Perfume River
It has been raining all day again, so we didn't get to do as much as we planned. We did still get out and see a bit of the city. Went to the market to do some shopping. It's a small area jam-packed with shops and people. We had to be careful the further back we went because the aisles were very narrow and there were people pushing around you at every step. Very much like the streets, the areas are close together and and a bunch of them sit side by side and sell the same thing. We heard "Madame, t-shirts!" a few dozen times on each row.

That said, we still found some fun stuff and it felt good to get out, even in the rain. It's not cold, so the rain is more nuisance then really bad, but the streets and sidewalks are flooded easily. We stopped at a bakery after dinner and had some yummy cakes - a chocolate loaf and pistachio something - it was good, but we aren't sure what it was!

Tomorrow we are heading to the island of Phu Quoc. Hope to have more sunshine and beach time!
