Route with pics

Woke up at 8 'o clock (long sleep for us ;) ), had breakfast in our guesthouse and started daytripping in HCMC. Reunification palace was our first stop. Not much to see actually, rather boring... seemed like just a couple of fancy rooms. On the roof was a great view though. After a Pau Bo (beef noudle soup) we visited the War Remnants Museum: a museum about the Vietnam war. This was a good one, confronting and sometimes chocking, but a good one. Worth the visit!!
The rest of the afternoon we read our books at a coffeeshop and in the park. Another Pau Bo for dinner and a treat of Western Pizza Hut food later, we went back to our hotel to get a good night sleep. Tomorrow we'll get up early again to catch the boat to Vung Tau from where we will bike up the coast again. Today is our '100 days on a bike' anniversary: Thanks for the 5th present Mum, Dad, Femke, Matti!!

Overblijfselen van de Vietnam war en zijn vele atrociteiten, not a nice page in history.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenshocking, confronting but it was reality.

Hey lieverds,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDat was inderdaad een indrukwekkend museum. Herinner me nog dat ik er wat misselijk ben buitengekomen.
Voor de rest kan je vooral goed eten in Ho Chi Min.
Ik zal eens kijken of ik de goede adresjes nog terug vind. De jumping shrimps in een of ander gigantisch restaurant waren allesinds zeer de moeite zowel qua smaak als ervaring.
Dikke kus van de (schoon)zus.
PS: wat hadden we weeral in het 5e pakje gestoken?
