Ho Chi Minh City

We arrived in Saigon in the evening and spent the first night in the Saigon Spots Hotel which was alright, but the next two nights we splashed out and stayed in the Golden Central Hotel. We got a room on the top floor. The view was amazing, and an expensive but good way to look over the city. And the hotel had a rooftop pool.



We had breakfast at an amazing bakery and then walked to get rosies raincoat that had been posted from Phu Quoc. Along the way I got my bushy beard shaved off by an old guy with a blade. He left me with a few cuts and big sideburns! After that we had a good lunch, got the coat by communicating with my fantastic drawing, then went to the huge market. I spent ages there, dragging Rosie around, but managed to get a few things after making a Vietnamese woman angry from bartering too hard. Later on we got massages that made me happy and we watched black hawk down.

Next day we had good free hotel breakfast, and chilled out on the hotel roof by the pool. Nice. After lunch we went to American war museum. It was good and eye opening. We went to Le jardin for tea because Rosie wanted French cheeses, and the food was good but the kitchen closed before we ordered cheese. She wasn't happy.
Overall had a great time in Ho chi Minh. Really cool city!
