Woke up on the train to funny music being played with messages over the trains radio. We checked into the Asia hotel and then dashed to our sightseeing tour with hardly enough time for a shower.

We took a dragon boat down the Perfume river (so called as flowers used to flow down from upstream and make the river smell like perfume) We visited a pagoda and a king's tomb. By this time it was about 13:00 and we were all really hungry as we hadn't eaten anything. We managed to get some quick noddles before taking the boat back to the hotel. It was only me and Daisy on the way back as the rest of the group went off on a motorbike tour, which i didn't want to go on.

When we got back we went up to the pool on the roof and hung around the hotel until 7pm when we got our free cocktail. We all went for a lovely dinner together, where i tried Hue style pancakes, which was a pancake deep fried.
