Somewhat surprisingly, we didn’t find anything to Bobs’ liking in the market last night but we did find a fine seafood restaurant.
I wanted to order the ‘Hot pot bitter – four with jumping Goby’ but was persuaded otherwise by Bobs. So we left the ordering to the waiter who presented us with barbecued prawns, morning glory and a scrumptious crab dish.
Not the cheapest meal we’ve had but one that would have cost a lot more back in Blighty.
The sun was hot and shining this morning so it was time to top up the tan with a revision session for Bobs in the afternoon as she has exams shortly after she returns to the UK.
As it’s our last night in HCM City I arranged some evening entertainment – a nighttime city food tour on the back of two motorcycles! And what an amazing evening it was too. Apart from overdosing on countless Vietnamese dishes in numerous (5, I think) different eateries, the motorcycle trip through the centre of Ho Chi Minh City was exhilarating to say the least. Certainly one for the memory bank. Photos should follow tomorrow.
So, that’s HCM city done! Tomorrow we take a short flight to Vietnam’s No 1 resort area – Nha Trang where I am sure there will be more adventures and maybe even a bit of exercise to work off some of the punds that must have been added over the last few days.
Phileas the Fat.
