Fred the frog and food

Last day in Hue today. We have very much enjoyed our chill out time here!
Off to the Forbidden purple city inside the citadel this morning. The bits that hadn't been destroyed by war or natural disaster were very beautiful.

We rescued a tiny little frog we called Fred who was hopping around on some very hot slabs in the sun. Silly Fred. Well, I say 'we rescued him' actually Martyn scooped him up and put him in the shade under a large bronze pot - but I did some excellent rescue mission directing!! Then we both realised we had checked out without saying goodbye to Gordon the gecko in our room - he was very noisy last night for some reason.

We realised last night that the geckos here speak a different language to the ones in Cambodia and Bangkok as well - there they say 'Eck-oh' and here the just say 'eck'. These things are important we feel.
Afternoon by the pool for the last time and horror of horrors - when we got their someone was sat on our sunbeds under our umbrella - the cheek!

And there the inevitable happened. On all trips there is almost always that moment when someone says 'oooh I would really like.,....' and then finishes with some item of food from home. We've been away longer than usual so the list was longer. We started with a sandwich from the bakers down the road, then flapjack, indian, roast beef and roast potatoes and apple crumble and ice cream..........,5 hrs later in the airport and we're still salivating.......
