Today started out pretty badly, it was raining really heavily.... Originally we intended to leave the hotel pretty early and rent bicycles to visit the royal tombs. We didn't really have much mood to go out so we stayed in for a few hours, I was watching some tv and Casey was reading a book with tragic stories of Cambodian Khmer Rouge period.
After a while it suddenly stopped raining and even looked like it would become a sunny day... So we did decide to get on with our plan anyway. We rented the bikes and during the 16KM ride the weather really got very nice. It was a nice ride through some more rural areas and some rice fields.
As we had left quite late we only had time to visit one of the royal tombs, we went to the Minh Mang Tomb which is the biggest one. On the way to there we did see several large tourist buses leaving from there. By the time we arrived there we were the only ones still inside the tomb complex :) So glad we didn't join one of those day tours! The tomb area was a very nice quiet area to walk around in and it did have quite a lot to see.
Hopefully tomorrow the weather in the morning will be better than today. We probably will be visiting the sights in the city centre tomorrow. In the afternoon at around 16.30 our train will be departing towards Hanoi. We should be arriving in Hanoi at around 4.30 early morning. Then hopefully we can book tickets for the 19.30 train to Nanning, China for the same day....
