Day 17 in Hue - Cooking class, Mausoleums and travel to Saigon

Asia » Vietnam » Central Highlands

Published: March 12th 2012

We started the day with a vegetarian (Buddhist) cooking class, making steamed rice cakes, corn spring roles and a veggie hot pot - surprisingly, all of them turned out to be really good! After making a meal of the food we had cooked, we visited two mausoleums. The first one was of the King Tu Doc (who lost the country to the French), and the second one was for King Khai Dinh, both with unique architectural styles.

The day ended with us taking a flight to Saigon or Ho Chi Mihn city, our last stop in Vietnam...

We are management consultants from San Francisco. We travel a whole lot for work, but that is nowhere near as much fun as traveling together to countries we have always wanted to visit. We embarked on a 3 month trip around the Asia Pacific in 2012, and used this blog to post pictures and (some) comments for friends and family that want to follow our travels, including our 2-3 week trip around India in an auto-rickshaw! Nearly a year from our 3 month trip, we have again hit the road for a "de-toxing" trip into the mountains and valleys of Patagonia in Argentina and Chile...... full info

How do you get all the pics?
Are you going up to random people, asking them to take your picture, and then running off to get into the (hilarious) poses? Or are you guys traveling in a broader group?
