Here's a quick run down of our trip to Vietnam so far. The first few days have been in Ho Chi Minh City.
Day 1: We did a lot of walking. We went to the book street, cathedral, post office and Tao Dan Park. We ate a street bahn mi and went to the Ben Thanh Market for dinner.
Day 2: Emma's birthday. We had a nice dine out breakfast, had a massage and went shopping. Emma bought a nice bag and some sunglasses. We sadly missed out on doing a food tour due to needing to get a missing bag from the airport.
Day 3: We went on an Airbnb tour in the Mekong Delta. We had an awesome Italian dinner (which was very unexpected).
Day 4: We went to the Cafe Apartment, walked along Saigon River, visited the Ho Thi Ky Flower Market and got the same bahn mi from Day 1 which we think gave us food poisoning. We then got the bus to our resort and it was a really grim night where we went to the hospital due to food poisoning.
Other items:
- We were always dealing insanity on the roads, there were some terrifying pedestrian crossings
- We went to this rooftop bar a few times for drinks and it had an insane view for sunset
- We stayed at this hotel, it's in a good location especially when you can easily get a Grab
