Introduction to today's journey
Today's journey takes me from Hoi An back to Da Nang where we catch a flight down the coast to Ho Chi Minh City. When we arrive, we travel through the frenetic city on cyclos to the Vietnam War museum and explore the city centre.
Today's Journey

Returning to Da Nang in the early morning, we pass a huge resort under construction. |

Entering Da Nang Airport to catch a flight down to Ho Chi Minh City. |
 |
Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City after an hour of flying over the clouds. |
 |
The city centre is very busy and swarming with cars and motorbikes. |

Riding on cylcos, we explore the city. |

We stop at the War Remnants Museum, where numerous artefacts were collected from around the country after the war ended. |

Most remnants were from USA, who dumped everything and left after the communist north won the war, and Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City after the communist leader. |

The nearby Independence Palace which was a prominant government centre during the Vietnam War. |

Saigon Central Post Office built in a French Colonial style in 1891. |
