Dong Khanh Hotel Ho Chi Minh City

... in a horific way during the American War.

Our hotel was on the west side at a point where the tarmac stopped and the road became dust/mud.

The hotel was made up of beach bungalows, swimming pool, restaurant and beach bar. The view from our window was through palm trees onto the beach and sea.
The setting was very tranquil.
We were keeping our fingers crossed that the weather would be good as October is the end of the rainy season and fortunately ...

... so "lanes" of traffic (mostly motorbikes, some cars) one must contend with. Luckily I had some good advice prior to my arrival. You wait for your chance to jump in, move steadily forward (and never backwards). Do not hesitate. Do not panic. The drivers will avoid you. At least I had good luck...it was actually quite fun, once I got the hang of it.

The war museum was...very difficult ...

... spikes. Nice. We saw a section of unwidened tunnel (the bits that you can go in at Cu Chi have been specifically widened for tourists- a little unauthentic but at least we can actually just about fit in them) which was seriously small, before being shown the next series of traps- all involving sharp metal nails and underground pits. Apart from one which the guerillas would attach to their front doors when they slept so if any of the enemy came in during the night- they would be ...

Bonjour groupe!

Ça bouge ce matin dans 'cabane! Les déménageurs s'affairent à emballer nos affaires personnels, nos quelques meubles achetés localement, bibelots, sculptures, cossins, brosses à dents et coupe-ongle. On va faire du camping à partir de ce soir! C'est bien excitant!!!

En fait, ce ne serait être trop difficile. Richard part pour de bon, pour "de vrai", ce mercredi pour Haïti. Moi, je reste plus longtemps, jusqu'au ...

Opposite the Cathedral was the Diamond Plaza. A quick flick through the Lonely Planet guide told us that it housed a Bowling Alley inside. There was definitely time for a quick diversion and a couple of games, and beers of course. We opted against eating some fast food on this ...

... near their hotels, but we jumped off early to grab some grub. We have only had chips since 7:30 this morning. By the way, we both hate being with tour groups. People wander off and take their time doing everything. You spend 1/2 your time waiting for them to take a picture or catch up to the rest of the group. It is always nice to have someone in your group step in front of you or shove you so they can hear what the guide is saying... We walked around for ...
