Hue and the Royal Tombs of the Nguyen Dynasty

---

Leaving Aaron still sick in bed, I decided to venture out and see the daylight. Not feeling quite up to dealing with....well, anything, I went on an organised trip to go tomb-hunting and city-traipsing. Hue was once the Imperial City of the Ngyuen Dynasty, which lasted until roughly the middle of the last century, when basically everyone in the world decided to invade the Vietnamese (Thais, Japanese, French and then came the Vietnam War in the 60s/70s). A lot of the old tombs where the Ngyuen kings were buried were completely bombed out by the Americans in the war, but a few survive and now serve as the major interest to the city Hue.
