July 24-29 2024 Ho Chi Minh - Hoi Anh

 A short break away from a colder than usual Melbourne winter. Ho Chi Minh then Hoi Anh so far. The War Remnants Museum was confronting, particularly in the section on the effects of Agent Orange. There was a poignant display of work by war correspondents on both sides, many, many of whom died along with the soldiers they were filming.

Hoi Anh is an historic town, now mostly given over to tourism - and yes we did buy some goods to take home - all very good value of course! The town lights up at night as tourists flock to the old town for meals and sightseeing. We’ve enjoyed some delicious Vietnamese food everywhere we’ve been.
