Hi All!

The last full day in Mui Né was very relaxing, just a little bit of swimming and enjoying the view. In the afternoon we took the scooters again and went to Ke Ga to enjoy the scenery. That evening we wanted to get a massage to leave Mui Né completely relaxed, but unfortunately we got the worst massage possible and although we entered that salon completely relaxed, we left the salon with a very tense body :S. The last evening we had dinner at ‘the Gecko’, this was a very nice restaurant where we ended talking to and playing pool with the staff .

The next morning we left Mui Né towards Ho Chi Minh City, where we arrived that evening and we only got a bite to eat and went back to the hotel, because Patrick wasn’t feeling very well :S. The next day he already felt a little bit better so we went on a city walk. Here some highlights...



Ho Chi Minh City Hall


Cathedral Notre Dame


Ho Chi Minh City traffic, once you’re used to it, it’s not that busy


Thunderclouds building up above HCMC


To get away from the rain we had to go up to the rooftop garden of the Rex Hotel

That day we also went to the War Memorial Museum. This was a very impressive museum, also because a lot of Vietnamese people still know what happened, because they have lived the war. But I was really impressed by seeing the medals donated by “William Brown, SGT.” saying he was sorry and that he were wrong.


A very impressive sight in the War Memorial Museum. Made me think...

Later that evening we went to a very good French restaurant, but Patrick didn't feel so well, so after the starter he went back to the hotel and I finished the meal alone. Well, not completely alone, because a Belgian couple sat down next to me and I started chatting with them after a while. The evening ended with them bringing me on the back of their scooter (so with 3 people on it) to a nice and relaxing bar to have a final evening drink in Vietnam.

The next day we had to fly back and although the flight towards Vietnam was extremely exhausting due to the 34 hour delay, the returning flight was pretty nice (for me, Patrick was still feeling sick, so he wasn't completely happy :S).

When I just returned from Vietnam I thought it wasn't a very good vacation, but now looking back at it, it was a pretty amazing country and I would go back there someday, the only thing that should be better is the weather.

Cheers!
