The Ho Chi Minh City Skyline.

My Intrepid group for Vietnam :)

Firing an M16. I couldn’t resist.

Chilling in the Cu Chi Tunnels. The Vietnamese dug hundreds of kilometers of these tunnels by hand during the Vietnam War.

 

Helen and Kathleen on their cyclos.

At the Vietnam War Remnants Museum.

Arty shot.

Ah, my old friend Saigon beer. The first of many wonderful brews tasted in Vietnam.

We ate all sorts of weird things in this country.

Hoi An River at night. The lights from those restaurants lit that river up like Christmas!

Another arty shot.

 

 

Quite possibly the most delicious thing I ate in Vietnam.

I was more impressed with this massive flag than the building it was at.

Fun times dressing up for our ‘royal banquet’!

 

The presentation of food was amazing during the banquet, Every plate the staff brought out for us had a different bird carved out of vegetables on it.

The narrow corridors and low ceilings of our sleeper train. It was a really cool experience being on there but I must’ve whacked my head on at least 3 different door frames within the first 20 minutes of being on board.

Ho Chi Minh’s mausoleum.

The amazing dining room on our Halong Bay boat.

 

Halong Bay was absolutely stunning, I couldn’t take enough pictures of this place.

 

 

Aww, poor Helen (centre). Bless her, no matter how hard she tried she never took a good photo.

The top half of an octopus head. I ate it about 20 seconds after this picture was taken. All sorts of nasty juices oozed out when I stuck my fork in and it tasted just as disgusting as it looks. Probably the most horrible thing I’ve ever eaten.
