Day 15 we were up early because it was skiftedag. We should welcome with the hotel, which probably will miss us, there is something happening when we are there. Thao, her son and luu had turned up to greet with us. Thuy from the hotel and the Ahn train with us on the trip to Hue. We are getting off at. 7:30 and we had chosen the trip up over Havane pass so we got a nice ride in the mountains. First, we should just hand over the package to Transportation from Denmark. It was not to send the package because it contained money as Khao helped to call the Transportation and we agreed to meet at her beautiful sister. 8 at Cham Museum in Da Nang, it is just on the road. We met her schedule and she had pictures and coffee with us. It's great to have Khao to help. By Havanpasset was overcast so we had to be content with all sellers and the view up and down the hill. It was also good enough. We landed in Hue kl. 11 at a nice hotel called Hoa Hong Hotel. We were quickly accommodated and Henning slipped quickly down to boat people to report his arrival tomorrow. Today we visit the royal palace where Hansel and Ingelise be king and queen. His will deliver a speech to his people. It was
Thuy and Henning were king and queen in the royal palace.
King's Palace is a large area. Unfortunately there were bombs thrown during the war here. Partisans saved here. Half have been bombed, but there is still so much that there is enough to look at.
evening meal was taken in a nice and exciting restaurant where we were all dressed out. Here Hans and Ingelise king and queen. We got a little finer caused menu and we have received so far a very nice food. We cycled a lovely trip to the hotel and went to bed early.

Day 16, I just forgot that the lunch was taken 15 days on deaf restaurant. You could stay several days in Hue just to experience their different menus for incredibly cheap prices. After a good night's sleep in the beautiful beds at a nice hotel we had up early. Breakfast was probably the best we have experienced so far. We were of course as always achieve a lot before we were to later pursue night to Hanoi. First we had to cycle back down to smell the river Song Huong . Here boat people waited on us and we got bikes on board. Immediately went Henning started to release some of the clothes we had in the trunk. When it was over boat people started their little store of clothing and jewelry etc. It was shown enough purchased part and here is not to mention names. We visited the sights set on sailing trip up the river, only Tien Mu pagodas, manganese Minh mausoleum and finally Khai Dinh mausoleum, boring to look at from the outside but fantastic interior. I think it was a wonderful experience for everyone.
It was from this Tien Mu Pagode that a monk drove to Saigon. He went out in front of the presidential palace and poured gasoline over themselves and lit on fire. With this event came to so many protests from around the world that the Diem regime fell. It was reeelt U.S. which marketed him. Diem was a Catholic and most of Vietnam is budhister. This happened in 1968.
next stop was the Ming mausuleet manganese. This began in 1840 a year before many Ming death and completed in 1843. It was Ming manganese, based on Pagode Marble mountain in Da Nang. Mausoleum is also a beautiful place.
We ate lunch on the boat, as usual, very nice food for almost no money around. 16 kroner more than you can eat. We could choose to ride back to Hue, or take the boat back. Ingelise and Anne Grethe took boat. We had a little busy because we had to train to Hanoi at. 15.00 and we were just fresh up a bit first. We had been given a room free of charge by the hotel and here we had all the baggage and could baths. We had rented bicycle taxis, both to us and luggage. Khao was again very helpful, everything slipping just when he does things. The train was about. 45 minutes late but we got baggage and all on board. We had 3 compartment with four each. Khao, Man, and their daughter was in and lived in the compartment with Henning and me. We had a lovely room and hyggede us on the train with coffee and a single beer.
