We slept in before doing odd jobs and then meeting Julie, a Danish girl who had been on the tour but was also staying at the hotel for a few more nights, for lunch, at Joma's.
We headed back to book the cooking class for 4pm, and watched a film to pass the time before then.
The class was 45 US dollars for 3 hours, an expensive thing to do but well worth it, as it was in a fully kitted out kitchen and well qualified chefs. One took us to the market to buy ingredients and somehow we wound up buying grubs and a half developed duck egg!
We learned to cook Pho Bo, the vietnamese beef noodle soup as well as a papaya salad, fresh spring rolls, a cosmos leaf omlette, grubs with garlic chilli and ginger, quail eggs, and the bridge too far was the half developed duck egg. Where the egg white was already half way to becoming a duck, very weird and not very appetising. Lucy sadly couldn't quite take a bite although she managed the grubs....just.
After we'd cooked everything we went upstairs and they brought us the food and we had complimentary Vietnamese wine which was interesting to say the least. It was a great way to finish the class.
We said goodbye to Julie and went to the old quarter for a mooch before bed.
