Ho Chi Minh City - written by Marvin


Following our morning at Cu Chi tunnels we drove back into HCMC and had lunch at Pho2000 (local noodle house made famous by visiting US Presidents) then we visited the Presidential Palace, a building caught in the 1960s following a refurbishment after bombings towards the end of the war. A ready to go film set if there was ever one!





Next a quick trip past Notre Dame Cathedral and the adjacent old Post Office building. Beautiful French architecture from days gone by. Last stop off the tour was the Military Museum. Lets just say we didn’t have the kids go through all the exhibitions. Displays on Agent Orange, war crimes and general military are all depression. You know it is a poignant exhibition when no one is speaking while taking in the photographs.
