| Street scen in HCM near market |
HCM What a great city is HCM very different to Hanoi the traffice doesn't appear to be so frenetic as it was in Hanoi and there are a lot more cars on the road which is more difficult ot cross. |

We stayed very conveniently in the street next to Sinh Cafe which meant when we took a tour we only had a stroll around the corner. There is no need to walk far as we found most things were availabel within the surrounding streets of our hotel in Bu Vien St District 1 |

We booked a trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels at the Sinh Cafe and it was terrific well worth the time and money. We also took a day trip to the Mekong Delta and experienced lots of interesting things like a coconut plantation that makes all the sweets by hand you can watch the ladies from start to the finished product which is for sale. We also had a tea ceremony where the men were invited to taste the snake wine the Vietnamese Viagra we were told. There weren't many takers, this was accompanied by a Vietnamese orchestra and singer. |
