Tuesday 23 Jan 24 – Our last day of the holiday, which justified staying in bed a bit longer until 08:30 followed once again by a pleasant breakfast in the upstairs bar. We had our shower afterwards and then went looking for the Chinese medicine street but when we found it were disappointed as it has been more aligned with modern practices thereby destroying that specialness that was the basis of traditional Asian medicines. We are now getting a good feel for the place and where we are. Lunch was in the “Mien Luon Dong Thish” eel bar. Very tasty and cheap at Vietnam Dong100,000 or AU$6.18 for both of us. Because I wanted an ice cream we walked to the lake where there are many little ice cream shops and found what we were looking for, as a matter of fact I had two ice creams. Back at the hotel I weighed both suitcases, moved a bit of stuff between the two so that we were within allowable weight and then tried to sleep for an hour. A final shower and then the hotel taxi to the airport at 19:00. The driver took us down many tiny laneways to avoid the traffic congestion and often we did not think that he would fit through. It’s really crazy how they drive and don’t have more accidents. As a final farewell we also received and updated Avis account for $6580.97. That will be hotly disputed back in Australia.Read more
