Spent most of day 4 in a train. The view was mostly of forest and padi, except for a stretch near the end after passing Danang, where there were great views of the sea.

Found my hotel and walked around the town a little, had dinner, went back to the hotel, did my laundry and that was the end of the day.

Day 5 (today), woke up early, and went to the Imperial Palace in Hue. Spent about 2 hours there from 7.30 am to 9.30 am. Everyone wakes up early in Vietnam. I was up by 6 and on the streets by 7 but so was 'most everyone else. People playing badminton or jogging in the parks, or just chilling out at the street stalls before going to work, I guess.

The palace was stunning. I took lots and lots of pictures, till I got tired.

The weather was hot by the time I finished, so I had a late breakfast and then retreated to a mall. Then ate some more before retreating to the town area. Going to look for a place to have tea/coffee and just relax later on.

Tomorrow, it's onwards to Hanoi.
