Ho Chi Minh is a city of parks
and grand buildings from the French era.
This is the old town hall – now the Communist party headquarters.
Notre Dame cathedral.
The Post Office was built by Gustave Eiffel (of tower fame).
It is still used for
its original purpose, unlike a lot of Post Offices nowadays.
We visited temples of
various persuasions. I think this one was Buddhist.
It had a pond filled
with turtles.
This is a hearse used by adherents of the Cao Đài religion.
We did
one trip outside Ho Chi Minh City – to the
Mekong Delta.
We went on a boat trip through some of the highways and byways of the aquatic environment.
The range of produce transported on the delta is impressive.
These little fellows were cycling to catch the boat to school.
Noreen discovered some
breadfruit.
It's a tough life being a tourist!
