We started today feeling as knackered as this guy. Unfortunately there was no rest for us.
We decided to give the Ben Thanh Markets another try. Jordan and Tia really got into it (hats and clothes). Lisa cornered the market on handbags (and we all know she needs more handbags!). Brynley was back to his miserable best when bartering with the stall holders. (Typical accountant - he reckons it is the thrill of the chase but the reality is that he is just a tight ass).
Next was coffee and cake overlooking the park and people outside Reunification Palace.
There is lots of canoodling in the parks. I guess it's a bit hard to canoodle at home when you have got 20 families living in one room.
We then went to the famous Saigon Notre Dame church nearby. It is a popular spot for wedding photos. This couple are looking back to see who yelled out "Don't do it" just as this photo was being taken. It sounded very much like Lisa.
Tia wanted to to take the opportunity to get Reconciliation out of the way. She lost interest when the priest could speak English (figured she could get away with a couple of Hail Mary's for her sins from a priest wouldn't speak English).
We then went to the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theatre to watch a typical Vietnamese puppet show in the water. Very clever and entertaining. If only we knew what it was about.
We finished the night off with a fantastic dinner at the Quan An Ngon Restaurant. Loads of good food and local Saigon Beer.
We must admit we felt like doing this on the way home after another busy day.
