Ho Chi Minh City - 2

Our tour continued with a visit to the President’s Palace now know as Reunification Hall.  They had lots of meeting rooms, very opulent, and the basement war rooms where they did the strategic and tactical planning during the Viet Nam war.  A lot of the old communications equipment is still there on display.

We then went to a huge Chinese Temple that was very old and so interesting.  Of course, along the way many more sights of the local people.  We made it back to the ‘Quest’ and dinner and to rest up for tomorrows journey into the Mekong Delta.

Did you happen to notice the scooters? There are over 10 Million inhabitants and there are over 4 thousand registered scooters. At times it looked like there were 30 to 40 scooters for each car on the roads.
