Vietnam: Dalat & Ho Chi Minh

Rosie being stalked by the cutest puppy...

Escaped to a monastery in Dalat to evade the moped chaos that had been more or less constant since starting our trip in Hanoi. Very peace full and home to THE largest (so far) spindly red bodied spiders which made their webs over many of the pathways. Dalat also is home to the SE Asian species of swan boat. No we did not go on one.

Ho Chi Minh gave us our first sobering experience in the form of the war remnants museum; a photographic exhibition of the vietnam war and its aftermath. Informative but hard to comprehend.

One of our favourite meals so far here where you BBQ your own food on the pillar at the centre of your table that also acts as a stove. Treated ourselves to ginger and sesame seed beef, coconut chicken and salt & chilli king prawn skewers, BBQ crab spring rolls and corn fritters. YUM.
