February 01, 2005Ho Chi Minh City 1 and 2 : A Lazy Time
We were dropped off in front of a guesthouse, but we set off for one listed in my guidebook. It was in a warren of alleyways off the main street and we couldn't find it. I checked out another, it was up a rickety wooden ladder, so decided against it. Dave check another and we accepted it. It was fine apart from the 'three little pigs' bed sheets. We decided to go for a wander around the city. We headed toward the business centre and went for a coffee. It was very expensive, but we should have known that as the place was full of suits. We had a further wander, passing several museums. But with the excessiveheat and the alcohol consumed the previous day we just walked a loop and headed to get some lunch. We had lunch at a swanky restaurant overlooking the road, before heading back to the tourist area and having a few beers. Dave booked on a trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels, but me being claustrophobic, I decided I'd have a lazy day.
I head to an internet cafe and check my mail and stuff, then go meet up with Dave. He said that some tunnels had been enlarged for westerners to use, but it was still rather cramped in there. We had a few beers around the tourist area and called it a night. Comments
