A day with George and Tom in Ho Chi Minh City...
Great just to explore the city at leisure with our two expert local guides...and, of course, it's really good to share time with G & Tom. ....hang out in cafes, visit famous French Colonial Post Office, visit Museum of Fine Art before heading back for shower and packing.
Out in the evening for meal at a French restaurant George has discovered....no table, but George sorts this out and we have cocktails and spring rolls in the lounge before taking our table. Great meal.....G tries hard to pay for it all but this is our treat..after all it's over a million Dhong!.....
...so George reverts to plan B and treats us to an (expensive) drink in the bar near the top of the tallest tower in Ho Chi Minh City.....a moment we will never forget....the city spread below us, as far as the eye can see. This really hammers home the sheer scale of Saigon. All this to the pounding background of a DJ playing Saigon's latest music...which isn't subtle, let me tell you. Although I might have preferred a little late night Jazz, this is a truly magic moment..one of those special moments in time when circumstance and location come together to cement a memory that you know won't fade....
Saying goodnight...and goodbye for 8 months or so is so hard. What an experience these two have created for themselves.
