An Independent Trip To Northern Thailand & Vietnam, Part Thirteen: A Day In Ho Chi Minh City, 25 March 1996

Early start to presidential (reunification) Palace.

Ged fancies himself as bunker command (above), Daisy seeks solace in a wok below

Then on to history museum…

…where we saw a water puppet show…

…and then to Chinatown (Cocholon) to Than Thienh Pagoda…

…followed by lunch at Vy (duck!).

You’re going to eat that and then crawl through tunnels?

Then out to Cuchi– Got to see the place at agonisingly close quarters!

You think that’s back breaking? Try these tunnels.
Ah, once we’d crawled a bit I was back in command in Cuchi.

Then back to The Floating Hotel…

…and out to Blue Ginger (Saigon Times Club) for dinner – another promenade and Home

Fashionable folk promenade and bike around
