Robbie’s Travel Adventure!

Again, sorry for the late update! After some more relaxing in the very quiet Mui Ne, we gor the bus to Saigon. After a break we met up with some friends for the evening. The nexr day we went to visit the war remnants museum, where we saw some pretty disturbing images. The next day we just went for a wonder around town, visiting Notre Dam Cathedral on the way. The following day we went to the re-unification palace. Built in the 60s it is quite a strange looking palace, whillst inside we visited the offices, living quarters and bunkers. The day after we went to the Cu Chi Tunnels, outside of town. Where we got to see the tunnels and bunkers, some of which were incredibly small, we also went to a firing range where we fired AK47 rifles. They were much louder than expected! In the evening we went to the cinema to see Robin Hood. It was just like the cinema ar home, only cheaper and with sub titles. The next day we went on a trip to the Mekong delta. We cruised along the river, stopping at islands where they make coconut sweets, rice paper and coconut wine. All of which we got to try. After lunch we swapped the motor boat for a canoe and went in down the smaller canals. We stopped on another island to have tea with fruit while listening to local music. We also stopped to try some local honey tea. Then we headed back to town. That evening we decided to go to the cinema again. The following day we rose nice and early to catch the bus to Phnom Penh. After stopping over for just one night we headed south to Sihanoukville on the coast, where we are now staying for 2 days, before heading back to Phnom Penh and then on to Siem Reap.
