Day 31 - 'Our last day'. Another lazy breakfast as our plans didn't really start until 13:30 when the War Remnants Museum reopened after lunch. We decided that we wanted to keep the room for another half day so we could have a shower before going to the Opera House tonight so sorted that early. In the morning we first went to the market again on the hunt for a Vietnamese hat for Alice to apparently wear in the garden. Not sure what the neighbours will think! No j...

Day 30 - We had a 08:00 bus for the Cu Chi tunnels so an early breakfast and then we were picked up at the hotel to go to the bus around the corner. It was about 1.5 hours out to Cu Chi for which 'Jay Jay', our guide gave us a talk about the war which was very biased against the Americans but quite interesting, he was a bit of a character. Arriving at the tunnels, we first watched a short video and had another talk from Jay Jay about what we will see. We were sho...

Crossing busy roads and dodging the many street sellers, we made it to the Opera Hou...

Day 28 - 'The sublime to the damn right ridiculous'. A 04:30 alarm call ready to go to the floating markets on the Can Tho river.

'Tom' (he was Vietnamese) arrived at 05:00 on the dot and off to boat we went. The first floating market was about 45 minutes up river so we had a good chat with Tom about lots of stuff and as it started to ...

Day 27 - Easy morning but unfortunately with no fishing entertainment to accompany breakfast. Our taxi was at 11:00am so we just sat on the loungers and read our books in what will be the last peaceful part of our trip. The taxi duly arrived a bit early so we set off for the airport. Arriving at Phu Quoc 'international' airport, it was like a ghost town as they have built this big new airport that will cater for tourists when all the new proposed resorts are bu...
