HCMC

This will be short and sweet, I have to go to bed early because we are travelling to the Mekong Delta tomorrow at 8 o'clock and I need to pack etc. We are going on a boat and I just found out today that we will be rowing through the jungle, hmmm I actually didn't know that when we signed up for it. Anyway....Ho Chi Minh City is gorgeous, the area we are in is really lively esp at night and it has a great buzz about it. We have been wandering around the old French area of the city which is really pretty. We went to the war museum (really horrible and sad) but otherwise we have not been up to much, I was a bit traumatised after roughing it for a few days in a row so we had lunch in the Continental Hotel (from the Quiet American) yesterday and found lovely restaurants today. The one we just had dinner in, they bring you the food raw and you cook it on this grill that is in the middle of the table. Of course I had taken a bite out of my (raw) squid before I copped on but I managed to cook quite well I think. Went to the water puppets too which was fun. Have to put up the pics now so no time for more....Next time I update will prob be from Phnom Penh bye bye Vietnam. Sob.
