Walked to the lake and caught an Uber Scooter to HCM Mausoleum. I knew it would be packed (which it was - the queue went for miles) and I just wanted to walk around it, and have a look at the One Pillar Pagoda. However I couldn't even get near that.
People queuing for HCM Museum...not for me...
Presidential Palace...
HCM Mausoleum...I couldn't get closer...
I then ubered back to my hotel.
Had an egg coffee at another place in Nguyen Hu Haan St that I read about. Very sweet and not as good as the first one.
Had shower and checked out. Went for lunch (accidentally) at a place I had been to the prior night on the food tour. Nice bun cha at Bun Cha Ta. That is grilled pork in a soup with noodles.
Then back to my favourite coffee place - close to my hotel. Cafe Tang. I had 2 iced coffees - really good. VND18,000 each which is about A$1.
Back to my hotel and caught private car to airport. Cost USD16 and arranged by the hotel. Taxi costs about the same so why go any other way. It's about a 40 minute drive.
Checked in easy and got through immigration no problem.
Easy 1.5 hour flight back to HK and then Airport Express back to Central.
Cock fighting in a random park I stumbled across...
Bidet...didn't try..
