Slept well at the Ibis Saigon Airport. Started our short day at the War Remnants Musuem which is a little about the French, but mostly about the Vietnam War. Very sobering. Then we headed to an interesting temple complex, the post office, a beautiful building the French built, and the residence where the South Vietnam president lived. Nice walk around Ho Chi Minh which is more open, wider roads and sidewalks, more parks, less traffic, less honking, and generally more enjoyable to me than Hanoi. We walked down a street with bookstores - Kelsey bought a children's picture book about a boy off on an adventure in his boat, really lovely illustrations.
Plus, if there is a craft brewery around, Kelsey will find it! Had light bar snacks and a flight of 6 beers. Ended with a sample of a chocolatey one which was very good.
Back at the hotel we hung out in the rooftop pool, then packed, then back up to the rooftop bar for
a last beer and dinner.
Then we each headed out on different flights. Kelsey through Seoul and me though Tokyo.
