Another nice leisurely breakfast on the roof started the day off well. This time I had company; Kev.
Most of the morning was spent wandering around some old haunts that we’d seen many times before. Although when you’re our age it’s always a good thing to refresh the grey matter at regular intervals. There’s always something to look at or photograph. Ended up at the GPO which is one of the best French era buildings in this country. It’s also a very popular place for the locals to hang out.
We then walked to the Saigon River Bus Station in the city where we booked a trip for tomorrow. With a good amount of ks under our shoes we decided to take a break back in our rooms. Kev is from Canberra so he was feeling the heat, but for me it felt rather comfortable.
After lunch I visited the Fine Arts Museum just across the road from the motel. While I appreciated the skills of the artists most of the works weren’t my cup of tea. A lot of modern stuff concentrated on the Asian style, which is completely understandable. Although I did enjoy the ancient artefacts exhibition and the old French architecture of the buildings.
Another local walk just on sunset did me in for the day.
I ended up having dinner at the in-house restaurant again. It may not be as cheap as the ones around the local area but it sure looks safer to me.
