Our penultimate VLOG saw us traverse the Gulf of Thailand to dock at Phu My which is the main cruise port for Ho Chi Min City (Saigon). We took the opportunity to explore this city which featured in the news and movies of our youth. We took the Saigon on your own cruise excursion arranged by Tui. It was a long journey from the port to the city, well over 2 hours. We were well briefed by the tour guide on how to safely navigate the city streets. That still didnt mean we avoided all problems and incidents. Our trip was affected early on when we witnessed a gruesome and horrific trafic accident. We hope he survived but suspect he didnt. Once in the city exploring the busy streets was a test on nerve but we were able to see the main sights such as the Post Office, City Hall, Ho Chi Min Statue and Notre Dame Cathedral. The Ben Tanh market was excellent to explore and browse. We also found some very tasty food in a food court in one of the main shopping centres. This was an experience ! We are glad we went and saw this place and hopefully this VLOG will prove useful to those planning a similar adventure.
