Erin and I have been wandering around district 1 of hcmc for the past couple of hours. The place is a buzz with activity of people flying around the place on scooters of all shapes and sizes.
We are having a great time soaking up all the interesting sites and smells.
We are both stuffed after scoffing down some fresh Vietnamese pork rice paper rolls and some poh (soup). Both dishes were awesome and came to a total price of $9 for both of us! I love this place already! We washed it down with a long neck of tiger beer each worth $1.5, bargain!
During our evening walk around hcmc I happened to notice some food carts selling fresh rolls made to order with pork belly, lettuce, and various other bits.... Looked delicious, I know what I'm getting for lunch tomorrow :)
Tomorrow we will venture a bit further around the city and also investigate some local tour operators to suss out the best deal on a tour out to the Mekong delta, we are very keen to see the floating markets. We flew over a section of the Mekong delta today and it looked great.
Anyways I better sign off and get some sleep, its been a long day as we've been up since 4am.

Hey guys, brings back a few memories of our honeymoon, Phu Quoks the spot. While your in HCM, the river is an amazing place so sort a private boat tour, well worth it to appreciate the scale of progress in this region. Also, cant remember the hotel but if your into cocktails with a view, walk towards the river down the mainstreet of the CBD and its the hotel on the right. Go to top floor and enjoy. By the way, do you have Justin's contact please.
ReplyDeletecheers Mark and Nicole.
